When I was admitted
I felt as if people were after me
They wanted me dead
I felt like a bad person
I couldn’t shake the feeling
Or get the voices out of my head
I thought I had died
That my actions killed me
Now my memory black
I woke up in a room
Terrified
An empty bed next to me
The psychiatric hospital
It felt like purgatory

There was a girl
She reminded me of myself
Lost and misunderstood
She brought me back to life
I felt like she was an angel
Keeping my path bright

We felt as if the world was up to no good
Alone we stood
She didn’t feel safe
Neither did I
We’ve never truly felt safe
But I felt like I knew her
I asked her to be my roommate
So we were never alone while inside
We became soul sisters
Our birthdays off by one day
We thought it was fate
My time had come to check out
I cried
I still wanted her by my side
She made me feel safe to be alive
