TODAY
By Angela. S. Hart
Today I put coffee powder in the washing-machine
Married the goldfish
Borrowed a fiver off my teddy-bear,
And spoke to my friend Alex on the telephone.
REACTIVE DEPRESSION
By Mary O'Dwyler
The World is crying
Sobbed a broken umbrella,
Under the weather.
From
Beyond Bedlam
Poems written out of mental distress
A collection of poetry to mark the 750th anniversary
of the founding of the Royal Bethlem Hospital (the "original"
Bedlam), Europe's oldest mental health institution, to raise money
and to promote a more positive, informed and compassionate understanding
of mental illness.
