I stare out the window
Overlooking the city
Neon lights glow brightly
The bed is starched linen
Smelling of bleach
The sky is starlit
A small park blanketed in snow
I embrace myself
Misty air
Staunched curtains fall
Sleeping doves
Enemy mine
Little cups of valor
Water and the sea

I was diagnosed at the age of 12. I've been in and out of care units. Really does suck. A very brilliant poem.

Nice title. And, I'm astonished that you've lived with Schizophrenia... sad I'm guessing it's a bad thing right...? If it is bad, I'm sorry to hear.
