The stigma attached to
Our kind, often is unfair,
In that of the homeless,
Or those in prison
That didn’t understand
Their illness,
Or never properly diagnosed,
Sometimes not at all,
And even worse,
Let out of the hospital
Before it was time
And committed either suicide
Or harmed others
When not in control,
Because they didn’t know
The hospital protocol
To get admitted
By not saying,
“I’m going to kill myself”,
Or that, “I will fuck somebody up
If you don’t keep me”.
Somebody has to speak for them!
Why not us?
We may not be perfectly
Balanced like the average soul.
But we SHOULD- CAN-
Make a world of DIFFERENCE
By letting our
VOICES be heard
In the populace-
Because after all,
Some of us writer’s are afflicted
And are saved by our creativity.

LeBrozover 17 years agoNot politically correct
But then, when writers are so afflicted
It can be overlooked.
