Poetry: Hospitals

by Chelsie Crilly

Created on: May 16, 2010

Your sanity isn't welcomed.

Your heart will be sold.

You'll be overcome, and you will mold like clay.

You're secrets will be told and talked about amongst staff.

But- don't worry- you're safe at the hospital.

Don't worry.

There aren't bugs in your food.

Take more pills.

Your secrets will be told and talked about amongst staff.

Your sexual history will be examined.

Every rip and tear will be accounted for.

I know, you've been to many hospitals.

I know, you've never had a positive experience at a mental ward.

But this stay won't last as long, and all will be better in the morning.
