I'm living with this right now, but it's more alcohol related, but the effect on my girlfriends mothers mind is basically the same. It affects everything.
I love the line "there is an obvious void there"
The best poetry comes from those things you can forget, your earlier stuff seems closer to your heart, have you used up your memories? Or are you more socially aware now?

I write personal stuff when I really need to get it off of my chest...but sometimes its hard for me to express it... so i try to write on a varied spectrum of topics...social, personal, comedy, where ever my pen leads me I guess.

Heartfelt write, it gave me chills to read it, I'm so sorry you have the need to write this Serenus, I hope it proves somewhat cathartic to have purged it, although I know that nothing can take the pain away. Very brave write, nicely pen'd. x
I believe a lot of poetry is very personal; probably most of it. It's hard to spill your heart out onto the written page and see no one read what you've written. But some things, you just have to get off your chest because the weight becomes too much to bear. that's where writing comes in; it gives you that outlet to get it out there, much like you've done here. We don't know what type of affliction exactly that you're facing, but we sympathize and feel your pain just the same because we all have our own crosses to bear...
True that.Honest poems are true poet's strength. I found this very interesting and enjoyable to read.The message,the ryhmes and the title are outstanding. .
There are a couple of poems that I'd written that I felt it was way too personal to post up. They are the ones about my depression, my thoughts of suicide. But, nonetheless, they are posted through here. I really dig into honest poems. Honest poem are a true poet's strength. So, my friend, you did your job with pouring all your heart and soul with this one. And I thank you for actually posting this up and let us read the lines of greath strength.

Psychologist don't know the spiritual side to having a "mental illness". It's more like being touched by the divine, once were called mystics. Well written.

yes i believe there is definitely a spiritual side to it, thank u
Man, I feel you here. This is powerful. We talked about how personal poems are simply stronger. I feel the struggle in this one. And I understand it. My entire family has a history of mental illness. We're almost like a psychology textbook on the subject, with so many different kinds in our family. An uncle with dissociative personality disorder, several (if not most) of my family is manic-depressive/bipolar, we've got schizophrenics, we have it all. At twenty I live in constant fear of whether or not I'll end up developing one. Most in my family got it at an earlier age then me, so there's a chance I might not develop anything. I have trouble sleeping, I sometimes go weeks without it, but I believe that's more because of things that have occurred in my past that have left a traumatic mark on who I am. Either way, I understand where you're coming from here and you're really brave to put that out here for the world to see.
