    I actually voted for this. Not many people would think to describe a mental illness in a poem contest about sickness, so I appreciated that fact.

    Critique: "Their always watching" should be "They're always watching." Gotta watch those there, their, and they're words. It's pretty difficult! :)

    "Their always watching
    Peering through framed glass
    Images from the past daunt the future
    You run, corner to corner
    Hide!"

    ^This is an amazing part in this poem. Not only does it describe schizophrenia or psychosis, it describes, for me - depression and anxiety.

    This is a multi-dimensional piece. Congratulations on the win. Very well deserved!
