The girl curled up in her chair Scribbling away in her purple notebook 3/4 of the paper filled Scars deeper than I though possible Neatly lined up her arm The youngest kid Destined for paleontology Sits in the back playing solitaire and fusball His reading of being here Completely unknown Her high bun in her blonde hair Match perfectly With her soft-spoken tone A complete shock To learn of her purging past The average girl Moved here from New Jersey Her foot tapping anxiously Due to her parents misunderstandings And from all of the Tylenol she swallowed Her hand aimlessly writes Pages and pages written To her boyfriend of who-knows-how-long Who supports her And does t care about the scars She sleeps all day Except for when the therapists torment her Trying anything To get her to eat Or even say a single word The oldest one here To everyone, her happiness seems more than just a bluff But she's here for a reason Clearly, her rocket scientist dream Hasn't worked out yet He was out in two days His feelings more if a passing thought For his puns And love for horror Prove his happiness I sit and listen, alone My suicidal-ness a shock to most Still misunderstood I can't wrap my head around it I just. Want. Out.

Being stuck in the hospital for five days, I've written a lot of poetry. Here comes a wave of sad hospital poems
