sanity instead of a world of 
MADNESS


                                           MINDLESS PANIC AND AGONY

controlled with pain

                              impression of being unstable

                                          TERRIFYING DREAMS

the echoes bombarded her pushing aganist each other until they're one long

the pain was incredibly personal

               "WE LOST HER FOR GOOD" as they agreed with annoyance

Wow! Love the way you laid out this poem to enhance the impact! Though Florida government officials have deinstitutionalized people with disabilities and try to keep elders out of nursing homes, no one seems to pick up the torch for people with mental illnesses. Great work! Love, Carolyn
