We like to sit together and eat
As a family.
I sit by myself towards the wall
With a half portion.
I'd like a cup of milk with it
And they oblige me.
The chicken is covered in fat
And I don't need that.
My weight means nothing to my gait--
I bounce like a cloud,
My head on my concrete-padded cell
That feel like giggles.
Out the doorway without a door
My friends keep an eye,
Because suicide is no joke
If I could stop laughing
I wanna nap-- no wait, I'll play.
I'll sit through this day
Til I get my shoe laces back:
Then I'll save my day
I drowned my sister twice,
Left hand, then the right.
Bubbles in the water like
A straw in Nesquik
Yeah, it was mean, but I'm nice, right?
We two are buddies,
You look and smell just like Shaggy,
Won't you play with me?
I drowned my sister twice
No, it wasn't nice.
And my brother drowned me must once
And that wasn't nice.
Once, lying under the cotton,
We were joined by Dad.
I kicked and scratched and screamed, "No, no!"
And then it's mumble.
My daddy proceeds to beet me,
And the his scratches...
My legs are boiling brown bruises,
But I'm still nice, right?
I drowned my sister twice
And fought off a shark.
My fists ****** from broken teeth
Start me towards shore.
The shark's mom and dad in pursuit,
I'm nearly done now
When a dolphin comes and saves me!
But never saved her.
I drowned my sister twice

I wrote this based on an observation I did at an intensive mental health facility for troubled kids. I'd like to dedicate this poem to Chris, a loveable young "psychotic" boy.
