A schizophrenic story.....


Mind Check................

Teetering on the brink of split minds,my Grandma stuck in her own reality....
Since when she was young,her life was far from what some could call a normality....
But her own mentality, was filled with callings,voices from inside her mind........
So intense she would act on them,not knowing if these plots were a crime..........

Verification Of A Problem.........

Our family was about to embark on a vacation one year, i think i was ten.........
We asked her to watch the hamsters,care for and feed them, and the cycle would soon begin...
Upon our return, my sister and i found the precious creatures drowned.......
Grandma had put cereal and milk in the cage,the raisins they tried to get down....
Horrified, we screamed,it was no use,in her mind she didn't do anything wrong........
In her eyes it was true,but soon we'd find that in this family, someone didn't belong...
Or did she?hmmm, my life would never be the same,her heavy nonstop giggling got to me.........
She would laugh at the strangest things,like fires,crashes, and babies.........
You name it, she was crazy, to us,but we loved it,because this was family.............
Who knew that sticking bologne,cheese, and other coldcuts to the walls would be so funny...
From an old lady, who lived off eating butter with every meal..
She even claimed there was a man in her room, who spoke in tongues..........
Probably was in her mind, it was fun,but sensed the fear of it all.......
Her brain let her fall,the rituals she had,because she was told too...
From inside herself, these requests came, her thoughts was all she had to pull her thru.....
None of us understood her behaviour,how could we?,her mind worked differently...
For it wasn't her acting, it was the voices, directing her so critically..........
Could not control the voices or actions, she began to fall slowly........
My grandma, the only woman i ever met, who was afraid of herself and the limits of her personal ledge....
But the mind is a powerful tool,yet so cruel, that can fool, and pushed her OVER THE EDGE................................
