Pen This to Chris Wren

About this poem

This poem is about my past struggle with schizophrenic episodes, and medication really helped me to the point that I don’t need to take them anymore now. But, deep down inside I’m still questioning about the source of the voices, and if there’s a world beyond the material. So, I faintly remember a story about Christopher Wren, an acclaimed English architect and renaissance man. The story said that when he was a child, he was bedridden and he would hear voices talking to him through the presence of birds. And, I thought to myself *how interesting*. The poem really encourage those who are neurodivergent out there to never really give up on themselves. And that, even though there are trials and tribulations, there are really secret powers we all hold to help those who are in need; those who seek refuge from the deluge. more »
