The sickest most monstrous people in our lives
Our world,
Are those mentally ill that try to hide it
Hide from it in Denial
Defensive fights against seeing it
Knowing it
Acknowledging it.
They point at others
They pointed at me for decades of my life
Ridiculing
Demeaning
Taunting
Bullying
Because I
Because WE
Know,
Accept
And seek help for
The live with
Our mental illness,
Normalizing
HUMANIZING OURSELVES
While they
The sickest
Practice their sickness in the darkness of Denial inside
Growing a monster they hide
Pointing at others around them
Distracting
Removing all eyes
But not suspicions
Of themselves.
They are the weakest
The most cowardly among us.
They will not face and know that monster in their own darkness
That sometimes comes out
Unleashed by Denial
Attacking those “sick” around them
Beating them with the labels of their ridicule
Beating them
Us,
I…
With their ever worsening
Darkening
Monstering
Hidden sickness.
I can look inside and situationally KNOW AND ACCEPT my life long monster
See it in the light of my day mind
accept it
Learn it
Know it
Try for a life time to try to heal it
With compassion for that part of myself
Healing with open-ness
Acceptance
And humility.
My facing of
theraping of my mental illness makes me stronger
I have
You have
WE have
The COURAGE to do all this
To face the monster
Monsters in our labyrinths
While others
Hide it
Hide their monsters
Growing them in their darkness
Their lies to themselves
Denials of suspicions by others…
(Until eventually the hidden rises
Consuming the guardian host in Denial
And becomes the Person
A monster of hidden mental illness).
