Institutionalized

What goes on
behind
closed doors
prognostics
diagnostics
the fears
the tears
a number
mere statistics
yet
when
it comes to us
a perspective
most unique

So true, Timothy. Feelings of vulnerability come into play.

Line, I used to volunteer in lock wards. It's frightening and I was always glad I was not a patient in one. There are many facilities. I only referred to one type. Panagiota

Lots of undesirable situations to avoid at all cost.
