Right now, I wish I could go back in time and fix what I did during psychosis. Not possible. Photo by Hermes Rivera on Unsplash .

In the nighttime hours things divide into smaller pieces that seem to make sense.Then the dreams come, and people have hidden knowledge released beyond the veil..Only to wake up to more confusion. A mind divided by nightmares cannot stand for very long..When dawn arrives, the light flickers in between crippling muscle spasms, as you cry out for even the...
