Schizophrenia...(17 / 10 / 2015 / 09: 21-Am) . Poem by Koena Mokoena

I have schizophrenia, /
hence i see people, /
whom i can hear them speak, /
but i can never touch them... /
They tell me that i shouldn't /
drink water, & this means i am mad. /
When i think of socializing... /
Nomusa i.e my neighbour /
would say that i am forcing... /

I have adopted Mosebetsi /
a brother, whom i know from church /
& when i am sleeping with him; /
people would tell me that he ain't mad... /
