stains my skin

straight jacket wraps round me like a vine
histeric laughter

damned to this white padded hell
realitlys at fault

sick in the head
trapped by demons wake

florecent lights burn my eyes
locked doors, barred windows

all you can do is sit and dream
quietly die

fake happiness on the workers faces
so plastic as i scream

long corridor
small windowed doors

mental sickness

Very well written poem, especially for never experiencing what you're speaking of. I've been "institutionalized" before, and you nailed many of the images and emotions. Great job!

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
