The Story Of Sven Reinhard

A young child

Smart and wise

A son any father would want

He did as he was told

Never questioned orders

A perfect little boy

His father, a military man

Manipulating his child

Telling him how to live his life

His mother, never there

Left when the boy was small

Never intending to return

The boy listened

Wanting to make his father proud

Looking for love and praise

“Become a doctor, make me proud”

Words echoed in his head

Mixing with the other voices

This boy was different

Not a normal child

His father knew

He heard voices that weren’t there

Schizophrenia

He didn’t understand

They scared him

Mocked him

Left him crying alone

If he was bad

His father wouldn’t hit him

Or shout

He would keep calm

And let the voices do the damage

Holding back the boy’s medication

Once the lesson was learnt

He got his medication

The drug that sent them away

Such a quiet boy

Hardly noticed

And never bothered

Grew up alone

No friends, no love

Becoming cold and calculating

Became the man he was told to be

A brilliant doctor and scientist

Working with the man he hated

Following in his father’s footsteps

Working under him

In a secret group

Experiments of science

Illegal and hushed up

Lead by the boy himself

A proud man

Enjoying what he does

Despite it being against his will

Many years pass

Young man now older

Now changed forever

A ‘Mad Scientist’

One to avoid

Ruthless and void of emotion

Schizophrenia

Insomnia

Paranoia

A mentally unstable man

Such a helpful doctor

But a heartless scientist

Plotting and scheming

Wanting to end a life

Wanting to end the control

He wants to be free

Control his own life

Have his own opinion

Sudden chaos from a failed experiment

People running everywhere

A perfect chance

A shotgun to the face

Ended his father’s life

His final freedom

Now all alone

Living in his old house

The lab all quiet

No known family

No one to bother him

Just what he wants

Experiments of science

Illegal and hushed up

Now done by one person

This is what he’d always wanted

To live his own life

Live how he always wanted

Helping people in the hospital

As a doctor

Hiding a dark secret

In that old lab

Where no one can see

Dark secrets are hidden there

He wants no one in his life

No one to bother him

Intending to remain alone for the rest of his life
