Cages

About the conditions of the present day mental institution from a first hand account.

Flick of a switch

A shake and a shove

Awoken to be captured

And dragged into their cage

 

Thrown into a room

Cramped with fear

Atop the ghosts of girls

Who once lived free

 

Stare outside all twelve hours

Watch the geese plod on the snow

Until you seem to have forgotten the chill of winter

And shut the blinds in despair

 

The redundant smell of wet cement

Ever increasing the frustration

Of being locked behind a slanted door

And never allowed to be free

 

Flick of a switch

A shake and a shove

Awoken to be captured

And dragged into their cage
