I had a weird dream after watching a documentary regarding the Vikings I swore allegiance to sweyn forkbeard, king of Denmark The son of Harald Bluetooth Who after years took the throne from the English Saxon King Aethelred the Unread Aethelreds stupidity overruled his qualms for he was an obstacle to progress Sweyn was followed by his son Canute the Great Canute converted to Christianity and married Aethelred's widow, Emma of Normandy After Canute died his son and half-brother restored the old Saxon line to the throne Maybe an overload of information has got something to do with my mental illness Perhaps I have a wild and vivid mind that won't shut down for me to sleep soundly As well as having a serious mental illness that has affected my life in terrible ways while I am awake it also affects my sleep, having very vivid dreams of which I can't tell if I am awake or asleep or somewhere in limbo not being able to tell what is real I have 2 sleeping disorders the first is sleep apnea and the second is called Parasomnia, if you have time please read up on Parasomnia because it might just blow your mind regarding the effects it has upon a person's life

I have a mental health illness and I was a inpatient in a private secure mental health hospital not because i was a danger to the public but because i myself was the only person who was in danger from me was myself and that will reflect in my poetry...
