This place, with its cold white walls and it's sterile gray speckled floors. The nurses take my mouth that cusses far too often as a sign I'm on some kind of drugs, I guess. When I answer the question about what kind of medicine I take they look at me with questions in their eyes when I say "none." I know that the bruises on my body look bad. I'm malnourished, okay. I don't have time to eat. Need more potassium. I don't shoot up ****** or snort pills. I just take ibuprofen like a normal person. My head is spinning. But not like normal. Like it's taking me twenty minutes to write this ******* poem. I feel like passing out. And the doctor will see you now, at the cost of 1,000 dollars to sit in this dumb bed. I hate our healthcare system. Why do hospitals feel so much like your trapped in their walls? And so little like they're actually out to help you.

I'm all ****** up in the head.
