Abstract
This poem tells the story of a patient’s first psychotic break and the subsequent healing process with special attention paid to the latter In the majority of literature and art dealing with schizophrenia and other psychotic illnesses the focus is often on the dramatic and florid symptoms that manifest during the initial psychotic crisis While that angle is certainly fascinating in this poem I aimed to provide a new perspective describing the period just after the dust has settled—the period of reorganization rehabilitation and convalescence
