The Schizophrenic Poet

The schizophrenic has a sound
Mind for creating poetry.
For it soothes his soul to place the
Song upon the sheet, and see it
There, where it can't hurt anyone.
And there, several years later it
Emerges, and is seen to be
False, only creative forays.
For the mind tortured by worlds
Needs to speak its peace; who knows if
It is true? It likely is to
Some degree. It is the mind's thoughts
And then creatively expressed
And then exorcised, and read
By others, through his adventure.
