Two quick poems I wrote

Alone in Heaven

Once there was a man
with a plan
to go to heaven
Everyone was a demon
schemin
against his protection
But once he went to the land above
and everyone else went to the land below
he would know
That he was right all along
but the problem was
he got his wish
And now he was all alone
drowning in his piss
So to those who think it’ll get better on the other side
Just hold on for the ride
Because you’re there already
Heaven or hell
Don’t dwell
because life goes up and down like a sea shell
on a steep shore…

Schizophrenia has many faces

Schizophrenia is a disease
that puts me at ease
when I’m lost in the trees
Just a moth in the breeze
Schizophrenia is an illness
of stillness
on the water
when I’m drowning
frowning
When my mother starts hounding
Schizophrenia is an ailment
That takes away the frailness
No really though
I packed on the pounds now I weigh 250 point ohhhh.
On the scale

Schizophrenia is a happy thing
a crappy thing
the voices laugh at me while I cringe
Go on a binge
of Liquor and weed
It makes me sicker and I’m never at ease
Schizophrenia is good
But it’s bad
But I’m mad
and I’m glad
Schizophrenia is confusing
And I’m choosing
to be abusing
my self
I need some help
Dealing with the cards I was dealt

But I got aces and jokers
I’m not a smoker
I’m a stock broker
On wall street
Who reaches new feats
by day
while at night I’m at bay
with my thoughts
Schizophrenia has many faces.
