You capture the cry of souls -- alone without hope. Your know the prescription for healing is found in Ephesians, Chapter six. Put on the armor and lead others to victory.

This work has reached the exceptional level

I don't think I've ever read so many incredible sonnets in one night, Al. This is absolutely incredible in the emotion it conveys with seemingly ease with this difficult format. I know a person with signs of paranoia and it worries me that he feels so attacked all the time. Your sonnet is wonderful, my friend. Best of luck in the contest.

LOL. Never seen Sincerity this disturbed before (your poem)

The demon came and took away my trust;
I know not what is real and what is not.
I was pursued by avarice and lust.
They tell me mental illness is my lot.

verily.

    the sims are a virtual world game where the players make up avatars and help them play. LOL they give them (the sims) jobs and houses and some even have families. my daughter thinks they're cool. i think they are brain sucking games. LOL you can play them on the computer, dsi game, etc.

This is an excellent Shakespearean sonnet. It's amazing that the poet, in such a restive state, was able to pull of such excellent verse. LOL (Just kidding).

Ah. To be left alone. Sometimes that would be the best fate. But Donne warned us of the futility of this thinking:

No man is an island,
Entire of itself.
Each is a piece of the continent,
A part of the main.
...

Perfect rhymes and iambic pentameter.

Good luck with the contest.

Kind of surreal picture, Goes good with the poem which was a very good look into insanity. Loved the rhyme and beat, it made this really easy to read. Great job!

Very interesting art work and words written here.
If Paranoia is not treated the condition may become worse.
The condition is not easy to treat in some cases.

Medication ordered by a doctor can help counseling may be necessary and may take longer.Many patients can feel a lot better having counseling.

Paranoia is not easy to treat.

a mental health "injury" is always a difficult subject because it entails so much history, so much of the present and so much future.

thank you for sharing!
good luck in the contest!

If I had a 6 star rating left, you'd have it. Incredible poem. The message struck deep. Excellent structure, words and flow. There's nothing I can say to make it better. Excellent piece. Thanks.
