FADE IN:
Schizophrenia walks
It's like a screenplay
One with no EXIT Stage left or right
No synopsis to indulge the crowd
Just pure silence all around
INTERMISSION:
The time everyone gets up and takes a break
Sometimes the actors and actresses will too
Scooping up popcorn and tossing it at each other;
Laughing as they shuffle the mind like a pair of dice
Rolling down a poker table
Five minutes turn into ten which end up being days
And the screenplay stays in position for when
They all return.
They never do.
FADE OUT:
The main attraction; Beauty of schizophrenia walks in
Such a beautiful romance in candlelit aural
Such harmony from the static screen of a television set
One argument
One heartbreak
One tragedy
Nearly brings the show to a closing
AND SCENE:
Death.
The sad ending to a beautiful beginning
Such a shameful fault; nobody heard the violent screams
Or the cries of one's mind, as they spilled their lines
Their thoughts hold them a hostage inside
Until the heart stops beating and their blood runs dry
But the screenplay continues on; lead role opens again
But for who?
