POETRY: INDIVIDUAL INSANITY BY PAUL TRISTRAM

All cases of insanity are different!

Each person is an individual.

Although most of cases will show symptoms

Of paranoia, depression, self abuse,

Anxiety and general mood swings.

To describe everyone’s problems

As merely being these, is like describing

All flowers as only having green stems.

Each person, each mental illness

Should be a mental virgin to psychiatry.

Not just another familiar problem

to ‘Tin Hat’ and conveyor belt medicate.

Maybe Sigmund Freud

should have seen a Psychologist

Instead of just being a Psychologist.
