Cold linoleum and hushed voices, **** tests and strip searches. Accept their help or don't make it. Recondition to become a sheep.
Control yourself, only you can do it. But don't find relief unless permitted. It might be your flesh but don't scar it. Eat these pills but don't enjoy them.
Purge what they don't preach. Deny your soul a sense of self. Rely on acceptance and kneel at their feet. Molded into an institution's dream.
Time blurs until your release. You don't recognize home or scent. Remain tamed for years to come, until their chains gratefully come undone.
Creature of habit and comfort slipping back into an old phase. Relief swells with an epiphany- Rehabilitation has always been fiction.
This isn't to say rehab doesn't work. If it helped you, that's great.
