you wake up
it feels weird, as if the life is sloughing off of you in pools of broken skin
and white waiting rooms
the catheter in your arm hurts
(you think)
(actually, you're not quite sure)
(nothing feels anymore)
there are bandages on your arms
and needles in your shoulder
(who took me here)
(i didn't want to be)
(anything)
(anymore)
they ask you why you did this
they ask you if you were trying to **** yourself
(as if they couldn't tell)
you get the same depression screener again.
you've gotten it hundreds of times already
you sleep
you wake up
watch tv
eat a crumb or two of the stale breakfast cereal they had before.
get your meds
(they don't really work anymore)
"wake up"
you didn't want to
