Schizophrenia (A Poem)

Published to Tumblr January 4, 2016

How loud does the music have to be to bring silence?
Is there ever quiet?
Is there ever a moment of peace?
Only what I can touch is real
And even then it moves, changes
And whirls in strange colors and sounds.
How easy it would be to lie down,
To close my eyes and just listen
And let the worlds merge into one.
But I have miles to go before I sleep
And I have many promises to keep.
I will not give up; I cannot give in.
I will stumble on.
By Kathryn van Roosendaal
