Voices: "You Little Shit"

While working with complex need students in a clinical setting as part of my training I had to wear headphones and hear voices, as some of my patient/students do every day without headphones. It was a frightening and humbling experience.

Voices: "You Little Shit"



An experiment on insight and

understanding

I wore headphones and

listened to the voices.



“The voices made me do it”.



You shit-head.

You don’t deserve to live.

Kill the damn cat.

You shit!



I was to function normally.

Normal…what is that?

interact with the guy

at the corner store and

the young girl at the

coffee counter. You know

those “day to day” things

we all can do.



Fuck you, you little shit.

You must cut deeply.

First they will kill

the secretary then the

teachers will be next

you little shit. They

Are waiting in the gray

van across the street…

waiting for you.

You don’t deserve to live.



Function?

Order coffee

or

Even look a person in the eye.

Did they hear my voices too?

I know they can read my mind.

Is it just the earphone in my head?



Street people some are hard wired

to the brain.

Live in paranoia on downtown

Streets. Hiding from the grey van

in the shadow deep…

Yes, cut deep you little shit.



A business type walks by

And in disgust thinks

“Get a job you little shit”.
