Schizophrenia

Sauhardika Karki 2004 (Morang)



How do you explain
a heart that feels heavy,
yet empty inside.
How to explain?
this numbness,
helplessness.
Jumbled thoughts,
help me arrange.
Anyone would do,
for all I want is to
feel,
cry,
smile.
All I want is to
be loved,
adored,
SUPPORT.
How do I find you?
my saviour,
non-existential.
So,
Let me make you,
hallucinate you,
protect you.
