In This Place

by Lucky2BeDifferent   Apr 10, 2012


In this place that I live in fright
This is what I see everyday and night
Tarnished walls with shameful words
That were written of feelings percieved absurd
Broken furniture with dirt everywhere
A place where no one seems to care
Staff restrain the angered with force that isn't right
They laugh and laugh and say things out of spite
Broken doors and holes in the wall
In every step there's a chance you'll fall
This place is called hell and it's where I stay
This is where the ambulance came and took me away
I thought I escaped when I left through the door
I thought I was free and I could'nt take anymore
Until, I came back, did I truly see
That it's pointless to fight back, they've already beat me
The living conditions were tough to stand
But not worse than the fear that I was constantly in
In my broken mattress that I slept on in the closet floor
I silently cried alone hoping that there's gotta be something more
I tried to just talk or reason in situations that came
To them it's funny and all just a game
I decided to start sleeping through the days
because being awake brought fright in a welcoming way

    Life at times can become a bitter Reality.
    It's like waking up from a bad dream.
    Don't let this encourage you. It will get better in time
