“I’m inside the mental hospital now”

I’m sorry I’m sorry I said, Stepping in The mental hospital I’m not right in the head I’ve been constantly slicing Cutting through skin To escape myself To survive my hell I wish to see your face when they finally let me free. I wish you would write or call me just once But for now, just visions of you While I’m drowning In my own crimson blood Tearing        Splitting             Ripping Searching for the key To this mental prison The nurse walks away After haven given Me some medication Something to calm me The straight jacket now Holding me firm They put me down I Sit there an empty stare    They filled me up with drugs keeping my head in narcotic haze. Pill after pill all day, every day I am broken and defeated Paralyzed Broken Alone Sitting here in a mental home.

Its been a few days inside now, i'm finally allowed some time to write and use the computer. Its cold in here, its lonely and they are constantly watching The screams at night are the worst.
