I don't normally post poetry on this profile. All my poems usually go to Deviantart.
But I feel that this is a poem I should share, and I'll explain why:

I have Disorganized Schizophrenia, and it is something that I've been dealing with for the past seven years. It's no a nice illness to have (if there is such a thing as a "nice" illness). I've been on and off medicines, been hospitalized, and even had several anxiety attacks and breakdowns. It is something harrowing and bleak, but there is still hope.

I want to write about the feeling of living with a condition that causes great strife.
I feel that here on FA we don't talk much about the reality of our daily lives. Usually we just post fan art, or smut, or stuff that is supposed to lull us away from cruel reality.

I just want to bring to light how someone can still live a normal life despite dificulties, and bring a bit of reality of FA...
