hospital use only
there are fences and gates somewhere
that they turn you away from
like getting spun round in a fog
given a wee paper cup with a yellow one
and a hard cuckoo nest stare
almost
but they let you see flat skies and flat clouds
be rained on with deeelicious filtered water
and they pull your legs down the hill very fast
they glue up your back teeth and they
ask you about your life a bit and then
ask "will it blend?"
and yes, it will
and the fence is somewhere, in the distance,
electrified with brain-scramblers
so we don't realise we are only let to go so far
and we think it's our own choice
enrolled at shutter university
and this is bc
we are dangerous, us,
we haven't any feeling to guide us
but i am not like them perhaps
i am worse
echoes of weak bitch
laughter about my subtweets

The Ego is the minds master. The heart has no master...
We don't talk to anyone as much as ourselves, learning to say nice things is an important skill. it would appear most of the time that many of us weren't given the tools to build these skills. Your honesty about yourself goes further than reality I'm sure, as it does with all those who are too smart for their own good it would seem. In the end it's all of little consequence, these thing's we've wasted so much time worrying about. We're all meant to be lost now and again, but the meaning of life is to simply be alive. Our paths are exactly that, ours. It was meant to be that way as shitty as it seems at times and there is no wrong, or right if we're genuinely good at heart.
Sorry for rambling and it's not a lecture, just sharing some thoughts with a fellow writer. Enjoyed...

I have always been fascinated with your mind. This is the perfect perspective of a mental patient
that, in my opinion, isn't so mental. But, probably more sane than diagnosed 'sanity'. The minute
details don't go missed except by the normal thought patterns who are oblivious.
Well done, Anna.

it's a little white world, so full of loving grace;
when you stare at depression, it's a thousand yards away...
