Poetry

White walls, white tile
Little girl with a crazy smile
Names all locked up in a file
This transition takes awhile

Get used to the jacket
With buckles and locks
Get used to counting sheep
And watching clocks

The padded walls
And twice-locked doors
Will keep you here
Forevermore

Don't try to escape
Or run away
You're stuck here now
You have to stay

You have no choice
You're all strapped down
Now you live your life
In a hospital gown

Wrongful accusations fly
Condemned to be insane and die
No one even wants to try
And save you, yet you don't wonder why

Accept your fate
You won't survive
You'll never make it
Out alive.
