Mental Health

years of abuse add up someone snaps the judge gives them a prison sentence which they serve and then get released next thing that person knows as they try to rebuild their life starting from the bottom They approached you two months after your sentence tell you you are court ordered for a 30 day psychiatric assessment you dont get out for years made to believe you are sick witnessing nurses affairs with patience man with a broken leg forced to walk young girls screaming rape the whole time knowing you are not supposed to be there everyday another fight you can never win finally you get away addicted to their pills everyday a struggle for years keeping appointments not understanding what is going on You serve your sentence then you serve another one never knowing what judge sentenced you there every doctor from a different country telling you life isn't fair Doctor's lieing to your family about biting and kicking him maximum security forensics in and out of group homes for years Then one day you quit taking your meds tired of the side affects and suddenly you begin waking up early doing your laundry eating healthy cleaning your house the hindsight remains I wasn't supposed to be there no judge sentenced me there allah almighty answers the phone when you call amnesty international Unable to become erect covered in scales twitching foggy thinking when you can't afford not to think clear Go tell eminem i get it I walked the ward for you made to think i was sick my whole life and then sickened by the things i went through
