His Ghosts Of The Mind Poem by Francis Duggan

It is said he is a genius one of a rare kind
But he cannot hide from his ghosts of the mind
For as long as he live with him they will stay
Though strong medication does keep them at bay
He is a young man only thirty three
One in science and technology who has a degree
Till the ghosts of his mind to him became a foe
By invading his brain about six years ago
The woman he loved who was to become his wife
Changed her mind on that and walked out of his life
She decided she could not cope with one mentally unwell
She left him on his own for to live in his own Earthly Hell
The supposed great future ahead of him is not to be
For some life has heavy crosses it does seem to me.
