Immobilized

Her longing for her son to be well  
free from the mental institution  
and the memory erasing  
electric shock therapy  
 
has sucked her into a vortex  
where everything is frozen in time  
she watches the clock on the wall  
as it fails to tick  
 
a drop of water hangs  
ready to splash but hangs midair  
these are her feelings suspended  
all encompassing pain  
 
she drinks to feel numb  
though this sucks her deeper  
into the pit she has fallen in  
needing to be sober for her son  
 
feeling it won't be long  
until she is committed as well  
lost where people are forgotten  
where you are but a statue  
 
immobilized by fear  
the starkness of reality  
too much to bare  
so you get lost in fantasy  
 
Where the sun shines  
and the devil isn't whispering  
in your ear telling you dark secrets  
only you can hear  
 
and for awhile you can rest easy  
no longer smothered  
by the smell of disinfectant  
on your plastic bed
