Looking

The looking glass
Can see you stare

If you walk past it,
It won't care

But as you stand
To change your face

The image plans
To take your place

Psych ward poetry.

The King of Hearts

The Pen is mightier than the Sword?
The King of Hearts would have a word.

For what could be a mightier *****,
Much sharper than the stone and stick?

I Slept

I slept through mountains
I slept through seas
I slept through rivers
And forests of trees

I slept through my childhood
I slept through the night
If I sleep through the darkness
Will I sleep through the light?

Psych ward poetry.

Unicorn Sparkle

Unicorn sparkle
Bedazzles her toes
There's ink from a marker
On her fingers and nose

They call her creative
They say that she's smart
But her brain is insatiable
Without wisdom of heart

Psych ward poetry.
Set 3, poem 11.

Partially Cloudy

I brave the crowd
It's loud and raucous
Inhale their cloud
Absorb their talking

The songbirds sing
The air is still
The leaves are green
Unlike my will

The trees and songbirds
Pay no mind
No need to worry
But lots to find

Psych ward poetry.
Set 3, poem 10.

Overstimulated

I'm stimulated
Disoriented
Simultaneous
Coordinating

Confusing me
As words contend
A melody
Without an end

Psych ward poetry.
Set 3, poem 9.

What you do

What you do is what you know.

What you know is what you've seen.

What you've seen is not your fault.

So do your best; make cycles halt.

Psych ward poetry.
