Psych 101
These walls don’t hold up
to the pain placed inside
looking for hope and futures
but the caring and trust collide.
Memories fold at the sight
of the cross with winding snakes
bogged is the mind at rest
where the people are at stake.
Lithium drives home the thought
of how easy it all is
to live out a fantasy of two worlds
in which one will have to give.
Fragile we are to those who know best
but strong to those who don’t
your thoughts are put down with ink
in hopes no one sees what you wrote.
Please don’t judge by what you see
or even what you hear
when you walk inside these four walls
it will all be very clear.
