Aftermath of Delusions
Published in The Lived Experience for Mental Health Week by Burmac Publishing in 2016
Standing in the wake of the delusional aftermath
clarity has taken its toll on my emotions
A foreboding fear extends from my stomach
as I remember telling people
that I was the Leader of the Age of Aquarius
A two-thousand-year period of enlightenment
where I was going to make everyone psychic
The symptom has now crumbled away
leaving me to face the real world
as my hands climb up my face thinking of the embarrassment
What am I supposed to do with this rubble?
How am I going to rebuild after this disaster?
What about the people I told during my episode?
Looking around at the surrounding ruins
where I now have to rebuild with people knowing I am crazy
I know I must face the reality that in the land of fantasy it was the psychosis
