#behavioralcenter
i spent a week
in the behavioral center
psych ward
mental hospital
they said three to five days
they said they wanted to monitor
i spent a week
simplistic routine
group and rec therapy
all so they could see
why
i was feeling the things i felt
asking questions
getting personal
i spent a week
new medication
new friends
new experiences
new diagnosis
all from the psych ward
i notice it everywhere now
why i do the things i do
bipolar
a simple word that explains
EVERYTHING
it all makes sense
the decisions i make
that i wouldn’t normally make
it all makes sense
the racing thoughts
twenty four seven three sixty five
it all makes sense
the excessive shopping
with money i don’t have
it all makes sense
my mouth and my brain
racing
but not on the same track
it all makes sense
i spent a week
in the psych ward
