Chapter 2: Mental Hospital

Darkness (A book full of poems)Words: 1362

Bright lights; the room full of padded walls. I slowly open my eyes to realize

The chains I am in.

No one's around just me, my demons,

And the voices talking outside these metal bars. The guard won't let me loose, because I tied a noose to prepare for my death.

They call me psychotic though I'm

Just a little chaotic. They fill me up with all these useless drugs that don't help.

I cry from behind these bars for someone

To hear my plea.

These marks on my arms

Is the reason I'm here so they say,

But what do they want from me when

They're making me fall deeper into the dark.

The doctor comes in please release me from these chains I say, but he just sits and stares as I dare not move.

Pills, pills they claim it will help

Though it just seems to make it worse,

And oh how I feel this is a curse.

No one seems to be okay as I hear the moans next door, and they keep begging for more.

We are nothing, but mental lab rats

For their experiments. We scream In pain

Wanting to become sane, but they just keep us in this bright room consuming

These same old pills. Making the same old deals day, and night.

Oh how they are making us feel

Like we might die, but now I know that they are the reason I'm a little chaotic

And they dare not to care, because we are just the same old mental lab rats.

Playing the same old game as we are

Sold the same cold drugs everyday!
