People with a mental disorder, are often discrimated to be 'insane'. Really, disorder is a "shaman of togetherness".


Just perspective.

A disorder,
Is a common shaman of togetherness.
To appear,
Is to not try at all.
But Perspective,
Is like walking on moral glass.

But Perspective,
Is like walking on moral glass.

this is profound, i wonder how you come to such deep thoughts, at such a young age. We need morals, or we would be beasts; but to walk on mopral glass means we have to be careful how e go about it, be more understanding, be more forgiving, be more loving ; i hope i'm not far of the mark!

The human condition , can alter ones persepepshan , give a new perceptive , that only counts at the time , if had been the day before or the day after , oh so very different , then , but the now is now , how it is , ever been out walking then found some one a stranger walking beside you , instantly nether are strangers , talking as if each has known the other fore years and years , then one has reached their destination , converstan at a natreal end , part , never too meet again , each now with a whole new perspective on life

Yeah, for sure. I can look back and see how crazy I have been, which means I am not crazy now but sure wondering....

Six lines, that's all, but I "read" so much into this, I came to the conclusion we are all messengers, but us humans have a habit of trying to put everything in perspective, sometimes that's when the trouble starts, I just love that final line.

you deserve to be read and commented more than i usually do, for the person i feel you are...the quality of your poems reflects the quality you carry inside of you...you are pretty much a mature young man comparing to your age

keep up, i keep an eye on you

friend,

I've managed a reasonably interesting life being accompanied with my "mental disorder", although it took me a while to figure out the "shaman of togetherness" idea you have pointed out so well in your text. Seems age does have its advantages.

Thanks for sharing.

PS: a friend asked me recently if I thought she was suffering from neurosis. I suggested that she shouldn't worry about it too much because the human race was in fact one seething ball of neurosis.

(Apologies to any brothers and sisters who are offended by that idea)
