I woke up that morning
Just another Thursday
Got dressed and ready

Got to the appointment
What would she say that day
Then my worst fear came to life

I sat in the emergency room
Waited to talk to nurses
I didn’t see the point in lying

I’m then in an ambulance
Getting transferred to a facility
I was terrified of what would happen

I arrived and it was very quiet
Was it because my mind was so loud?
I expected screaming and yelling, like the television shows

It was completely different
Friendly people, humble people
They showed me what strength is

I stayed for five days
Those five days were different than anything I’ve experienced
It taught me a lot

Showed me that it won’t go away
That I have to learn to manage it
That I have to take accountability

My only regret about this whole thing
That I wish I would have gone sooner
I still struggle but is a little easier

Just have to go day by day

Something is wrong with my brain
What are we doing?
I think I'm dying
I'm dying
I'm going to die
Am I going to die?
What are we doing?
I'm scared
I don't feel well

217
Where is he?
He abandoned me here.
They take me outside and the leave me in the cold.
It's my only pleasure in the day.
I need someone with me.
Do you have any idea how lonely I feel?
Do you even know how alone I am?
Where is he?
In memory of 217.
