Psych Ward by Deborah S ReganI 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.... 03/20/2007 Posted on 03/20/2007 Copyright © 2024 Deborah S Regan
