She spent her days in darkness,
Her nights were filled with fear;
The rays of the sun she avoided
From the sight of the cloud- she hid;
Broken trust from way back
Her vision of life- it killed;
And she lived her days with the notion,
All she sees, isn’t all it seems.

All we see isnt all we see. Nice idea

Thank you! 😄. I’d like to think we often see what we look for and things are subject to interpretation.

I grew up watching way too many Indian series and movies and loved the language. Also,I guess I’m a fast learner. Btw, I’m actually a Nigerian, just schooling on Sudan.

broken trust from way back
her vision of life it killed
That is exactly what happened with my brother (diagnosed with schizophrenia)
He is highly intelligent and is constantly learning things, he used to fly his own plane but sold it soon after.being diagnosed
He was betrayed in a mentally torturous way by a woman he was with a few years and was deeply in love with her. I’m glad you are open about your paranoia. I am very careful what I say around my brother because he turns it into hours of talking about things that are out there and don’t make sense. I would like to see him be honest about having a problem with his thinking but I don’t know if he realizes it.

Thank you Pj, it is. If there was a second verse, it would have had her overcoming the fears. 😄

She is surrounded by a sea of blackness. Broken trust can do that such damage. I like how you used: hidden clouds, night and shadowed days to show the full effect of a dark atmosphere. Nice work.
