The House

It's just a hose, you'll be okay a place for you and me you have a problem, you cannot explain we will try to make you sane come on in and sit down be comfortable, stay awhile don't mind the smell of fresh paint pills urine blood and sweat you'll get use to it don't be troubled by the locks the restraints on your bed the bars across your window spilling slanted broken rays shimmering on the ground it's just a house we have breakfest lunch dinner here you go have an apple here you go, take your meds it's just a house trouble only leads you to discipline to correct what sins you committed it's just a house a routine of awake work sleep repeat A house with the realization of of what? Nothing! Be Quiet! you checked in you cannot leave it's just a house if you run away dear, we will find you. The Warden is your father your friend, your GOD you should be thankful for you pills, food, EST Fizz, BOOMB goes your head as the currents fly through skull and flesh down down down down through your body changing you, moving you are you, you anymore? it's just a house it hasn't changed it's still the place of haunting screams of pain and agony love is gone when Daddy is home oyu love him don't you? You Should! It's just a house when you finally leave or will you? it leaves a lasting effect you are chagned independent you move on, come back to society but don't come back to us not even for a visit or some tea time it's just a house was it really?
