And

It's reaching, it's reaching and reaching past your ribs

And it's squeezing, it's squeezing and squeezing again

You will never be the same

It will always be torn up, twisted, wrinkled and broken, like a flower you've stepped on

We will never be the same

We will be detached and unhere

TAKE ME HOME

the stars have been whispering in my ears, we're stringing together, they're immensely far but they whisper like they're next to me

I miss my sisters in essence

TAKE ME BACK

TAKE ME AWAY

TAKE ME HOME

unthreaded, untethered, unhere

We've been everywhere and now there's no where to escape

You've touched every place

It's all rotten and rotting, suffocating and hot and cold, it's all hands that are REACHING

AND GRABBING

AND SQUEEZING

THE BLACK INK SACK THAT IS MY HEART

"Schizo's need medicine", "The only reliable treatment is antipsychotics", "You will go crazy without antipsychotics", ...

How about you shut the fuck up? Most schizophrenics or schizospec people I knew throughout my life were forced on antipsychotics or locked up. The other half of those people were extremely careful about what they tell people, they wouldn't talk about their hallucinations or delusions and would often receive the misdiagnosis of depression because these symptoms were the only ones doctors would see.

How does it even come to your mind that pushing pills down someone's throat or injecting them would be helpful to someone who's suspicious and paranoid? That's just gonna induce paranoia and make them go off their meds as soon as possible. Trust me I did the same.

Why isn't the first treatment option compassion, support and talk therapy instead? Psychotic episodes are also most often not chronic so if you wait for the person to be able to integrate the reality with their perception it will be easier to help them through than to force them on sedative meds.

Schizo's need community and support, not meds that make them worse.

I hate when people think schizophrenic complaints about psych wards aren't real. How could we all be having the same delusion at the same time? Doesn't make sense.

I have a deep fear that my experience with god will one day turn out to be just all in my head

Trying to mix the differing emotions that comes with psychosis into my next song. Sometimes psychosis is tragic, sad and painful. Other times it's innocent, sweet and euphoric. It can also be addictive... "going down the rabbit hole"...

Song about psychosis is nearly done!!!

Just created a subreddit for anyone who is on the schizophrenia spectrum or has a psychotic disorder to share their creative works! Basically anything goes provided it's not AI. The name of the community is schizophreniacreates
