You describe psychopathic personality quite well. There is anger and violence here, even rage, expressed. The schizophrenia, the loss of contact with reality, comes through, although the subject is slightly connected with reality, as some of the events described seem quite real. A very sad and poignant look at mental illness. Good use of the rhyme scheme aabb--the lilting tone of that rhyme scheme seems appropriate for a person who is mentally ill.

This is a skilled poem at conveying an independence and a defiance and yet it left me feeling very sad at the human response to an illness when it is through the personality or the brain compared to more obvious physical illness.
