Mental Hospital – Narrative

8:00 am
They drugged me
Until i was fake smiling.
Then all of my thoughts
Just kept on piling.

10:00 am
I told them “I need help”
They didn’t listen.
All of my dark thoughts
Started to glisten .

12:00 pm
Food comes out on trays
Looks all fancy.
The chance of us getting sick
Is unchancy.

2:00 pm
Group therapy begins
A kid starts to act up.
Staff puts on their gloves
What they do next is messed up.

4:00pm
Time to go outside
Get some fresh air.
“Look, a squirrel!’
Seeing one is quite rare.

6:00pm
Time to take a shower
And swallow more meds
Time to snack
Before heading to bed

8:00pm
“Lights Out” they say
Time to start dreaming.
For 8 more days this schedule
Would be repeating.
