watching her, watching me - Janet Frame

NZ film fest.
caught the first movie:
'An Angel At My Table'
A trilogy about NZ writer Janet Frame.
She was dignosed as havng schizophrenia,
stayed at Seacliff Hospital for 8 years,
receiving electro shock as the new treatment,
to make her BETTER.

She is not a schizophrenic.
She just want to be alone.
Wrong dignose.

Among the luns,
you became one.
you believe you are one.
Among the happy people,
you are afraid of mixing,
you felt more sad.
when i realised i was only depress,
and not mad,
i was angry,
for they have put me with the mads.
i came home,
found all my writings,
gone.
they really think i was mad,
and i know i've worried them.

that i might fly today
