Are schizophrenics really mad? After seeing a movie....which is about this girl who is schizophrenic...living in her own world of a husband and children...where she disappears into her world at the end of the movie....provoked the thought that arent we all schizophrenic in a way....living in our own worlds, daydreaming...so why does society call them mad? ! Their world is as real to them as ours is to us......maybe its a boon to them since its atleast a happy world! ! ! ! ! ! !




Have build a cozy world where I live
Safe in my haven, cocooned in my make believe
I have a lover who means the world to me
Treats me like a princess, fantasy of purity
Where I love to live and live to love
Lost in this world, flying like a dove
Gurgling laughter of my child in arm
Restores my pride, love being a mom
Lined with magic, layered in hope
Constant euphoria like on constant dope

Swimming to the shores of consciousness, I turn back
If this gives me a spring of happiness, what do I lack?
Surely the world out there is a nightmare,
Misplaced energies, Lust for money is all they share
Love is just a game, an amusement park,
Something they have forgotten, groping in the dark
Turned into animals, living to breed,
Lost in the world of power, hate and greed.

Have built a cozy world where I live,
This is a different universe, love living here.
