At least, it went on
for an hour or so,
and it seemed like an eternity.

Just another day
in the life of
"a person with schizophrenia."

Walls & Sledge Hammers

Where do I start ?
At the beginning of course,
but where is that exactly ?
I am
(to state it in
politically incorrectly language)
a schizophrenic.

And I have been living
with that label
for the past 15-odd years now.

I live by myself,
have a few close friends…

But I count myself as
one of the lucky ones
because throughout all of times
in and out of
psych. wards of hospitals,

I kept the same job,
with a large
government organization,

and they’ve been very
supportive towards me.

Today, at work,
in my lucky full time job
as a government nobody,
I get largely left alone and
to my own devices.
