Buses still stopped next door,

Psychosis

...She sits by herself in the day room
absent-mindedly taking her med,
her head is a blank, she knows nothing,

Deeper Than the Surface

...They locked me in a glass cage
Stare at me with their clipboards
Look at me like I am a freak show
Observe me like an animal
Treat me like a time bomb 
And cower away as if I am a monster

the psych ward, 
possibly because
of the medication.
A cocktail of
