PPI member shares some reflections since having Avatar Therapy.
As a result of my AVATAR therapy treatment, I have become more confident in expressing my experiences and challenges with living with paranoid schizophrenia. Also, with encouragement with the new amazing blog/creative writing group, I would like to share a couple of pieces with you…
My letter to you
I am the one that stole your life
I am the one who stole your friends
I am the one who controls your day
I am the one you fear
I am the one inside your head
I am the one that keeps you awake at night
I am the one that keeps you at home
I am the one that hears your thoughts
I am the one that makes you feel there’s a gun to your head
I am the one that makes you feel worthless
I am the one who took over your life
Yours sincerely and forever,
YOUR PARANOIA
Shadow People
Shadow people they can fly
LSD, no I’m not high
My dedication in taking medication
A precaution, to get rid of the distortion
My mind tied up in metal chains
The fear of the shadow people still remains
I have an aversion to the coercion
From the shadow people’s commands
My discipline to not give in to their demands
I tell you shadow people, I am not insane
My hopes of getting better still remain
You are not my friend, or my mate
I am strong and I will decide your fate
You are dark, you are mean, you are outrageous
I am brave, I am powerful, I am courageous.
