Pathological Illusions

Pathological Illusions

A Poem by Alisa Js

how much more can I really expect to endure
this scraping of the soul
this tearing of my heart
to less than anything actually discernible

no sound.

only echolalia

which may be the only repetition that could actually save me
upside down.

how long does one continue to believe in delusion
hoping that one day
all will be well

it never is,
never will be.

I need to leave 
before this becomes the end of me...

-- ohhhh... -- i have lived on this painful brink of indecision for years... "echolalia" is such an amazing word and the way you've used it is incredibly expressive... -- almost exactly a little over a year ago, my heart got completely shredded... and that's actually when my process of healing and reconstruction began... i had no choice but to let go of my favourite delusion... that's why i relate to your poem so much, dear alisa... -- you have captured emotions that are very challenging to capture in words... -- and i know a lot of people who've been through this test...
