Fantasy Land

{{Fantasy World}}

Is it insane that
Strangers are in my home?
Disturbing me?
Can't they see
They're wrong
"Please let me be"
I mumble uselessly
But they don't listen
As always

Is it insane
That they 
Came into my bedroom
Threw away my belongings
And replaced them?
My bed is now silver
Icy metal, alien to me.
With white sheets
That I didn't ask for

Is it insane 
My clothes are 
Gone, and brought back
Are a stark white
Shirt and pants 
They tie me down
Saying my "medicine"
Has worn off
But I don't believe them

I have bad dreams
That's all, nothing unusual
And that's why 
They hear my screams
That's all, nothing unusual
But I swallow the pills
They're just sugar capsules
Harmless
Just like I am

They say that I 
Killed someone
Have Hallucinations
Deny the truth
But I don't believe them
Why should I 
They've turned my world 
Upside down
I'm sick of all the accusations 

They call me 
"Insane"
But I don't find 
Anything wrong
With living in a fantasy world
Sometimes I realize
I'm really in a hospital
But other times I retreat 
Into my head

Because it's easier
Than living with
All those who are dead
Because of what I did.
It's easier to just keep
Spiraling down
Deeper and deeper
Into my fantasy land.

A great "getting inside the head of another" poem. It tells a story, and it introduces the setting in such an amazing way. As an outsider, you can see she isn't thinking clearly, but to her, she is fighting and then running away from the truth of what has and is happening. A wonderful perspective piece. Good job. I don't think you need "fantasy land" in the beginning, though.
