My name is Christopher, I'm 15 years old, and I wrote this poem to show my struggles with mental illness. In 2018, I was diagnosed with OCD and Early-Onset Schizophrenia, and in 2021 I was diagnosed with ADHD. This poem in particular addresses the feelings I have of emptyness and withdrawl from reality, which can lead outbursts of hallucinations, delusions, and anxiety which can then lead to physical reactions such as hitting, screaming, shaking, and disorganized speech. I wrote this poem to express my internal feelings to the world, and to hopefully let people know that they are not alone in their stuggles and can always receive help.
