I'm on my own
And it's dark
They put me in here
I'm not mad.
They've shut me in a box
Left me to die
'psychiatric hospital?!'
I'm not mad.
I'm closed off
In my paper bed gown
Why 'gown'? Not at all majestic
I'm not mad.
I'm only 20
Or 36
Or 70
I'm not mad.
I'm stumbling
I'm terrified
'take your pills!'
I'm not mad.
I'm lost
And there's someone here!
But I should be alone
I'm not mad.
There's a girl here
In the corner, crying
'Psychiatric hospital'
I'm not mad.
