    Poem Commentary


    As a teenager suffering from panic/anxiety
    Bipolar and O.C.D. ther were times when
    I would think I was crazy from hearing the voices.
    But God has healed me and helped me to see
    things in a better light.
    Mental illness does not have to ruin your life.

    Broken Mind



    leave me alone, leave me alone
    the screaming continues
    Oh God help me!  please stop the voices
    from their attack
    I can't take them anymore.
    this life,this body,as my strength fades into the
    background like a moving shoreline sapping
    all that it can until it moves breaths no more
    but gives up the fight from within
    trying to win this struggle a battle if you will 
     of the mind.

    The eternal struggle with our inner demons. Do we all not have them and I think you have captured that here, nice job.

    Thank you for taking your time to give your thought's.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
