The Unit

A place where our minds are sent to heal
Where every nurse and tech are on your side
There's no such thing as crazy here
We are lost stumbling along our paths
The unit is the light peering through the trees along the way
Friendly smiles, encouraging words, mindfulness
Everyone here growing into our individual paths
The unit is calm and peaceful
Tech's checking in with bright smiles
Doctors working with us with concerned eyes
Groups, classes, chances to teach us calm
Living and learning our disorders day to day
The outside world passes us by in its chaotic way
Chaos is what we came to The Unit to escape
We may be scared but we are brave
Brave for seeking help in a judgemental world
Brave for realizing we were falling down the rabbit hole
The Unit has become our home away from home
The people here care and understand
We must not allow ourselves to be ashamed
This Unit is our lifeline
The Unit is our hope
Together we become powerful
All in thanks to our Unit
