Institutionalizing Poems | Examples


Prescription

They don't know that
She doesn't know 
That she is
A poet

Her doctor suggested
It good therapy 
But barely 
Had she

Three or
Four before her
Next session to show
Progression in any shape or

Form so from
The lack of
Anyone
Saying

Anything in the way
Of comments she
Thought of
Committing

Not suicide or
Institutionalizing 
But herself to writing 
More so to take them all 

Along
On one
Heck of
Crazy

Ride

In the Eyes of the Law

To society I’m just a teen 
Almost an adult, but still so green
Held back by an invisible screen
That makes, to society, a difference between 
Being the ages of seventeen and eight-teen

I’m told the world is not what it seems to be
In a world full of people you’re as small as a pea
Not everyday goes by like a cup of tea
No one breaks out in a song like in glee
You have to, in you’re mind, be able to see 
That not everything and everybody in this society is free

Society lays upon us rule after rule
Insisting they be followed but not overruled
Even at a young age, institutionalizing them in school
But what they don’t realize is that they have been fooled
By remind us, and making us feel like a minuscule
They have just angered us, and we are using it as our fuel
To break everyone of their rules just to see them ridiculed

Nearing Finals

I should be writing another paper
I should have turned this in on time
I need to study for a test
I need register for class

My head is throbbing in my skull
My eyes drooping, after last night
My heart is aching for stimulation
My mind is drained, they’ve sucked me dry

Finals are just around the corner
Make up test are on the rise
Everyone is sick these days
And we need to make up lab reports

The pulsing hum of education
Institutionalizing my brain
And I can find no resolution
Standardize us all the same
