My Mental Madness

Contributed by Nabahood23 on Wednesday, 24th October 2007 @ 11:32:56 AM in AEST
Topic: toughstuff

I sit looking over the pages of my life,

Many things are no longer the same.

The feeling of despair has disappeared.

My depression over me no longer reigns.

Again, I can feel the wonderful stillness inside

As I sit under the rejuvenating rays of the sun.

I will hide my face no longer in shame and despair

I thought mental madness could not happen to me.

The violence played havoc in my mind for a long time

My scattered thoughts did not make any sense at all.

I would rise with a clear and stable mind each day,

Although, by night into madness my mind would fall.

Many friends, my psychopathic rages have run off.

My confused mind often played tricks and lied to me.

I often ran from the demons that were not there,

And had conversations with people I did not see.

At last, I sit looking over the pages of my life,

None of the things are no longer the same.

The feeling of shame and despair has disappeared.

My mental madness over me no longer reigns.

Pastor Walker,
An excellent write on a subject few contemplate, but many suffer from. The outcome can be good. Thank you for sharing. Well penned.
Your name impresses me as well and what it stands for. Violence is never the answer, but seems to be used to solve most everything, sadly.
Much peace,
Laura
