rhythm and rhyme

ISN

I've got a lot of crazy ideas
ones that wouldn't stand up to logic
which I take out like fetishes
or like my little weed garden
which I have to nurture....
I'm paranoid, and it festers
my brain is infected
and I get dejected by it....
I have a brain infection
and court rejection
hoping to worsen my state
I need the release of complete breakdown
and entering hospital gates
I need to rave, and foam at the mouth
in order to exorcise this terrible
bout
of honesty that compels me
to say exactly what I'm thinking
on a certain date or time
I can't do it with rhythm
but I can do it with rhyme

I'm reminded of the chapter "The Ghost of the Weed Garden" in RD Laing's "The Divided Self", when reading this work.

thx Fins, what a bonus, to get a link.....I'm going to read it.....I read The Divided Self, because one of my psychiatrists - Dr Rosen, was a bit radical, and I fancied that he was following Laing.......but I'll be blowed if I can remember anything about the book.....(I also read Foucault), but my memory is shot, but that's okay, cos I don't miss it...:D....(I like Jung - somehow I think all the knowledge I've read is in my sub-conscious somewhere, forming me, and guiding me).........

ISN

Ontological insecurity begins in childhood, or even earlier, in infancy, due to an absence of bonding and reciprocity between a mother and her new born child. In such cases, the mother does not experience, affirm or respond to the infant's genuine needs and feelings, and tries to mold the infant's behavior and experience to meet her own needs and expectations. As a result, the infant is only affirmed by the mother (or parent) when and if its adopts a "false self".

thank you Finsbury, I'm afraid I'll have to re-read that book......this is exactly what happened to me........by my mother.......really hell, but it just got worse and worse with the mental illness, and she was a Psychiatrist, so she bloody should have known better.......she kept repeating like a chorus, how she couldn't bond with me while I was a baby, and then proceeded to abuse me to the hilt

Bears shit in the woods, and a lot of shrinks are gaga. These are two Absolute Truths.

LOL!

I like when you just belt out what your thinking, ISN!

ISN

it's my most AND least attractive qaulity, but it doesn't help me cut a swathe through society........I'm torn between the knowledge that people are frauds, for the most part, excepting a lot of people on this board, and the knowledge that I'll probably get lynched one day

Yeah, I know what you mean about people--they smile so sweetly as they stick that knife in your back. Try not to let it get to ya, sweetie, there's a lot of great people out there too!

LOL! I highly doubt you'll get lynched-oh my, ISN--lynched!!!

I'm just beginning to realise that most of the world aren't complete shits......I only began to realise that today.......I guess we just learn, even when we're not trying.......

It is a good feeling to know that there are good people out there, helping, caring, sharing and loving people. Warms the heart and softens the soul.

ISN

it does.....I'm quite shy.....and strong too, but somehow people make you feel bad sometimes.......I only see the best in people until they start hurting me for whatever reasons they have, but here in Australia.......everyone is your friend......it's a great experience to be guaranteed a smile wherever you go, and to get good vibes all day long........:)

Being Enlightened

People here in Canada are pretty nice too, can't say they're all smiling those good vibe smiles all the time but generally, the people are good. I'd absolutely love to visit Australia some day!!! Oooo, that'd be sweet! I've only ever been to the US so it's a little dream of mine to get off this continent and travel abraod. I figure I should be able to afford it some day----like when I retire!

ISN

come to Australia......why is everything so expensive? why do we scratch and scrape.....? if only everyone was like us, there'd be no need for money......:)

Being Enlightened

I'm ALWAYS saying that money would be unnecessary if we could just all work together, peacefully! Why does that seem to get met with quizzical looks? Guess we're just brainwashed into thinking that cash is the be all end all---such a shame. As long as it doen't blacken our souls, I think we'll be okay, girlfriend.

That was fantastic. I can tell you have been doing this for a very long time. It's interesting how it ends because the rhyme was there throughout but what was even stronger was your rhythm. :-) Great stuff!

ISN

hey, that's cool that you picked up on that.....I love rhythm, and am crazy about rhyme......thanks for your compliments.....:)
