Mental Illness, Unnoticed

How many years, had, your conditions gone on, unnoticed? Whenever that “monster” (metaphor for what you got???) popped out, you’d always, put it, BACK, inside that iron cage!

Mental illness, unnoticed, how many years, had you suffered, knowing, that something wasn’t working right inside of your mind (i.e. chemical imbalance or whatever???), that there’s, something you WISH you can do, about it…

not my picture…

Mental illness, unnoticed, because, it’s always, swept, underneath the HUGE rug of your life, there’s, NEVER enough time, for you, to STARE it, square in the face, and confront it: hey, what the F*** do you want from me, huh? You’d kept, masking up those signs that were already, too hard to notice, until, you’d, finally, fooled yourselves, that the problem (whatever it may be, i.e. depression, anxiety, psychosis, yada, yada, yada!) doesn’t EXIST.

Mental illness, unnoticed, because, there’s, that TABOO of being labeled “INSANE”, when you head into the shrink’s office, inside that building somewhere, and, as you walked out into the hallways (b/c the shrink’s office is inside a building, with other offices too???), everybody looked at you, like you’re, CRAZY!

not my photo here…

Mental illness, unnoticed, and, because you’d, kept everything hidden, suppressed, so very well, your mental illness, went undetected, for years on end, but hey, you KNOW what? When that bubble goes B-U-S-T, it will, create a VOLCANIC-SCALE explosion, and, what’s gonna happen, after the lava flowed over that cinder hole (that’s what it’s called, right???), and, ruin ALL those little people living in the village, at the foot of that hill, huh???
