Don’t worry Sydney,
We’ll soon be out of here;
Away from plain padded rooms,
And white monsters that sneer.

We’ll escape if only we can count,
One, Three, Seven and Five;
They keep getting jumbled,
But still we must strive.

Count Sydney Count!
We must take flight!
It is the only way,
we can stand and fight.

Oh just look at them Sydney,
Sam’s singing his simple song;
Leanna’s licking her leg,
Warren tells himself he’s wrong.

Craig is crying in his corner,
Dave’s drawing dots on the door;
Miss Persilla’s passing out pills,
And Monica’s moaning, “More More!”

Don’t cry now Sydney,
We’ll soon find a way;
To count to that number Orange,
And get out of here someday.

Eyes dry for lack of lid,
Sleep deprived forever,
Sitting there amid,
piles of bound thoughts.

Pencil grinding, keys typing;
Waiting for that one last stroke,
Holding on to one last hope.

Thoughts to be managed,
Ideas must be composed;
Till daylight hits the weary worker,
And eyelids finally close.

Sitting on the shore
I hear the ocean’s roar

Swimming fish float by
Causing me to wonder, “Why?”

Why the human is bound to land,
When the sea is so big and grand?

Why can we not float away,
Leaving behind care of day?

Sadly leaving my beach so serene,
I look back to see the marine.

Dazed, staring blankly at a screen
Mind empty, eyes full
Meaningless words **** past
Just another teen day

Drifting along the crowded halls,
bell vibrations fill the air,
movement all around me,
like insects skittering to their holes.

I see their façade faces;
their camouflage.
I mourn for their dying true selves;
but my sympathies go unanswered.

They attack me for my care-
scurrying to a room, escaping the swarm,
still feeling their stings-
yet my chrysalis offers no comfort.

On the shimmering surface,
I see my reflection dimly.
The face staring back is a stranger.
I sigh and don my mask once more.

What?

I am a swirling whirlpool
Of self-destruction
Eternal darkness surrounds me
The winged-one calls to be freed

Dying inside
Where is the Sun?
My light has gone out.

— The End —
