Psychiatric Clinic.. STRAIGHT AND NARROW

trapped

in worn out shoes

walking the halls

to the silent

beat of bravery

the sickening smell

of potato mush

forced down

to the desperate hunger

of the sad tired body

an army

with nicotine stained teeth

mothers and sons

fathers and daughters¨

physically drained

mentally faithful

ready for battle

whats on tv

she asks

i dont know

mindless babble

to an audienceh

who in desperation

try and focus

it might seem unnecessary

but a necessity it is

I might be crazy

I might be sane

who knows

lets put normal in a straight- jacket

I have a brain

a beating heart

I need my medication

and a tiny ray of hope
