Schizophrenia is a mental disorder primarily diagnosed due to the patient’s loss of touch with reality, similarly to psychosis. However, some specific symptoms that are used when diagnosing a patient are hallucinations and delusions, thought and movement disorders, reduced facial expressions and pleasure in daily life, difficulty finishing tasks, and reduced amounts of speaking.

I am
the things
in the mirror which
I hold in high regard
as they are the monsters
who haunt me
when my eyes are open.
You are
the mundane
and plain people whom
always outshine the insane
as if you are superheroes walking
over the coffin
that you already built for me.
They are
the ones to watch
and listen to because they
too often make plans without speaking
as if they are gods
watching over a world
they destroyed
at my feet.
I want
to express
myself and show that I
am not quite as out of touch as
it often may seem to be
but I am afraid
they, the others,
them
have already
categorized me.
