I have a blog where I put all my poems in, but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links here...

Here's one of the poems.

The voices talk,
The replaceds walk,
The cops stalk.

Running away,
Nerves fray,
Thoughts stray.

Praying for relief,
No god and no belief,
Respite be brief.

Fear is to not be beckoned,
Everything has darkened,
I feel burdened.

Thanks for letting us in on your talent @Snuchu !

There's a few of us around here who write poetry. @Silenus comes to mind as someone who writes as a form of therapy (you can read more here)

Do you find writing a good outlet @Snuchu ?

[Snuchu]

@NikNik, I know Si from BlueBoard. 🙂 he writes really wonderful and poetic passages. Even better than mine! Haha.

You haven't really answered my one question though, can I post my site so you guys can see all of my poems? If not, I'll post it in here gradually 🙂

[NikNik]

Sorry @Snuchu I was totally side tracked reading your poem!

As the Forums is anonymous, we don't allow identifiable information to be posted - including person websites.

Would love to see more of your poems!

Hi @Snuchu

I had to remove that post with your first ever poem because it contained a link to your personal website.

Can you repost? It is excellent!

[Silenus]

Great stuff @Snuchu - love your work. That poem gives me a little bit of insight into a state I have no experience with.

Thanks for posting it. Looking forward to more... huggles... 🙂

@NikNik, OOPS!! I'm so so sorry, I didn't do that on purpose. I was just copying/pasting from my site... Sneaky link, lol.

@Silenus, thanks, but your stories are much more epic. 😉

Can I Escape?

Ever wonder what it was like,
Being chased by a shadow that vanishes,
Seeing it in every place imaginable?
No source of the shadow, no escape.

Ever wonder what it was like,
People yelling at you,
Gibberish voices in your mind?
No source of the static, no escape.

Ever wonder what it was like,
Going up and up,
Suddenly crashing down,
Nonstop roller-coasting with no escape.

Whatever medical term that was said,
Bipolar
Anxiety
Depression
Psychosis   
It’s all the same to me.

It’s agony with no escape.

[Snuchu]

Is it really reality?
Increasing in intensity,
Handling mighty.

Is it really a blessing?
Risky actions encompassing,
Taking wing.

Is it really a respite?
As the voices graduate,
The more risk I exhibit.

[Silenus]

Love it @Snuchu - few words but so much meaning. Powerful...
