ANOREXIA #MentalHealth #MyFriendAlexa

I am caged
sentenced in
dimensions

I can't see me
What I see
is a perception

DIS-order
or an illusion
my body is
in revolution

PTSD #MentalHealth #MyFriendAlexa

Prisons

the ones

without walls

Life-sentences

come as nightmares

Reliving the pain

the loops 

in the mind's terrain

Trauma has a future

a continuous refrain

the murmurs of a restless brain

ALZHEIMER'S #MentalHealth #MyFriendAlexa

Slowly the fading
of memories, faces
and words

the dimming down 
of identity

becoming nobody
person > name > number
existing in a slumber

It is a long haul
till you give it up all
or life develops
an app for life recall!

OCD #Mentalhealth #MyFriendAlexa

I try and try and try

Straight lines

only one color

one thing stuck

like a stray kite

They call it "disorder"

I call it my kind of right

I know it's annoying

But it isn't a choice

you know, alright?

D for?

D for?

they repeat and repeat

can a straight line

into a circle retreat?

Words jump off the page
Is learning a cage?

I learn differently
Am I different then consequently?

BIPOLAR #MentalHealth #MyFriendAlexa

Everywhere there is also
a Prozac Nation
a swing between
utter despair and elation

In the mirror
someone else resides
in the mind
another me hides

It takes a lot
to be a battlefield
of identity

Do you see me sometimes?

Do you see me?

SUICIDE PREVENTION #MentalHealth #MyFriendAlexa

A closed window
a nailed pane
or pain?

No sunshine
been a week
have been weak?

life an ongoing scene
seen/unseen

word/world
herd/heard
what could have been!

DEPRESSION #MentalHealth #MyFriendAlexa

It has sharp claws

invisible

deep, dark eyes

invisible

fangs fatal

invisible

I smile often

cry-invisible

I walk often

stumble-invisible

I look happy

sadness-invisible

It is real

it has name

it stays with me

rides on my soul

Depression

Invisible!

ANXIETY #MentalHealth #MyFriendAlexa

Image Courtesy: IMPACT magazine

Holding onto the last straw 

as they say

with my sweaty shaking hands

trying to calm the pacing breath

the shivering in my spine

I step out 

with a rebel body and mind

mine yet not mine

I am not your "normal"

but equal

if the scale to measure

is not blind to mental health

and we are all partly functional !
