Image for the poem hospital 1

hospital 1

the day the ambulance came and took me away - i was seventeen with mental ills -
i went to a place where i got morning calls for fruit loops, showers, and a shitload of pills.

overmedicated, super dedicated to getting the hell out of there.

it was a prison, a trap,  so many damn day naps..

i made it out alive
so different, beyond that  i cannot even describe

depakote, seroquel, ativan, topomax, just relax......

the problem is-

the pills don't fill the gaps of what i lost or never gained in the process of growing up.
memories so bad i feel like... throwing up


back again and again, and maybe again , i've lost count.

then slowly pulsing, overdosing, sezing almost dead-
waking up in a hospital bed - tubes everwhere


but these feelings -

they come they go they linger they stay-

waiting and  waiting for that coming out day.

and it always comes especially when i feel so done.


so each day blends and i try to defend the little sanity i have in the end..

i'm losing time losing my mind trying to find a reason to be.. LIFE inclined..


until i see that light shine, this is me falling behind..

i live each day color blind..

i need to wake up and change my ways
tired of dreaming of my end of days -

God! how i desperately need to set my SOUL ablaze.


so here's to nothing.. and to better days ^
