When Mental Illness Becomes Dangerous Poem by James McLain
When Mental Illness Becomes Dangerous
I'm not ashamed of my mental illness
being born
with the genetic triggers.
If a reasonably normal childhood
could have prevailed.
What makes it dangerous is knowing
some thing is wrong
and believing the world is not sane.
What's even worse is watching cops on t.v.
whom expect a normal out come
from some one they know that's not there.
Mental illness is nothing to be ashamed of and yet society treats people as if it were. I'm not ashamed of my arthritis, but maybe I should be?
