Calliope Dec 2018
The beautiful girl with the raven hair.
A sleeve of pain she doesn’t remember.
A past of stolen innocence and growing up too fast.
A life of raising her sisters but losing her daughter, because money doesn’t grow on trees and 22 weeks was all the time she could get.
A heart of gold but a facade of steel, too scared to let anyone back in.
A soul that rages of fire, power, and more grit than anyone I’ve met.
A future that my heart wishes for her more than she will ever know.
She will get everything she desires.
Her sobriety will be the medal around her neck.
Her life will be the trophy she won back.
And her beautiful children will be the emblem of strength that let them be born.
I just got back from a psychiatric care unit and the people I’ve met have changed me forever.

some days
i miss the psych ward
being away
from society
left with only
my demons

not being able
to be hurt by
anyone there

i wish
i could find
that comfortability
out in the real world
instead of hiding away
in these locked away rooms
i don't wanna leave
f Jul 2018
lock me in a building
a room, if you will
padded ****-me walls
to terrorize my mind
and, most importantly,
fix me
and i wonder
are psychotic girls a good ****

They tell me i'm crazy
That i'm a danger to myself
I won't do it again I promise them
No one listens

I'm taken to the hospital
They give me medicine and tell me to stay still
I do as they ask
But I wonder what I did to deserve this

They give me new clothes, scrubs, as some would call them
They show me to my room and I meet my roommate
He gets out in a day
I won't be so lucky

Its night time
I met everyone in the facility
No one ever shows a happy face
No one ever offers me love

I'm lying in bed
I notice how safe everything is
The beds made of plastic, rounded edges
I stare at the ceiling

I eventually fall asleep
I don't know what I was thinking to do so
But I was sound asleep
I dream of the last couple of days

I'm hanging out with my friends
They were never the nicest people
They gave me death threats
Told me to **** myself

One day they got to me
I had lost all hope of a future
So I found my ADHD medicine
And took every last pill

My parents found me the next day
Lying in bed, dazed and confused
I could barely move a muscle
So they called 911

I wake up and find myself in the hospital
I'm crying uncontrollably
My roommate looks at me and walks away
Why does no one care?

I get out of bed
I brush my teeth
They take my pulse
I eat my breakfast

They have a boring activity for us to do
Coloring children's books
They even bring the stress of your homework
Up into the hospital

The only "fun" thing we do
I when they bring us to the indoor track
I walk around the track and I meet a girl younger than me
She is bisexual just like me

We get along well and I thought for once i had an actual friend
But later I come to find out
That after you get out
Your not allowed to talk to them again

So everyday that gets closer to getting out I dread
Because it just means i'm closer and closer
To never seeing her face again
And losing the only real friend I have

The day finally comes
The doctors come and talk with me
They ask if I believe i'm ready to leave
I lie

I tell them I think i'm ready
I pack my clothes up
I brush my teeth one last time
And I go to say goodbye

But right when I look in her room
I see her smiling
Shes talking to her new roommate
I want to hug her

But we aren't allowed physical contact
So I turn around
And I leave
And I never come back
