Chapter 1
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
