Psych Ward

by Deborah S Regan

I would've left you
I didn't have enough pills
or enough "courage"

I didn't know your heart medicine
would do no "good" at all or at least
not be the magic gateway
to happy suicide land

then I was pacing the psych ward
and unable to even hug my children
except on rare occasions when they let me visit
the food was bad, bad

And they say I can't go home;
I cry too much, but can they tell me
how not to cry when I am here
and the walls are sad, sad?

we played Jenga and dealt with our anger
but I want to go home but what will I do when
I do go home I am going in circles I am softening

Tell me I am safe....
