Solitary VoicesI scream at the voices to stop
and hallucinate malevolent spirits with their hands outstretched.
The voices say "stay as low as you can."
I hide on the floor, bruising my limbs as I push
my frail body under the metal frame of a hospital bed.
The nurses hear my screams and come for me,
and put me in solitary where shadows whisper seductively
in the dark, and the cold mattress feels like it breathes.
SleeplessA sleepless night in the psychiatric ward,
I watch the ceiling move,
it ripples and distorts and spirits whisper in the quiet
and I hope to god the medication works.
SolitaryI spent the night in solitary,
on a pale moth-eaten mattress
and a dark room
with shadows that move
and seduce the walls
it's raining and my mind
empties into pockets of madness.
Skye 2I lead Skylee through the halls of the ward; my hands nestled into the crook of her elbow to hold her close. And I wonder if it's beautiful or lonely in her world of darkness.
ContemptBeing a patient means being deaf.
Doctors talk in hushed tones
behind the blue curtains
as though you can't hear them
or you're unable to understand their words.
But I'm mentally ill, psychotic, but not deaf or dumb.
I wish in those moments they knew what was going on
Inside my head.

You made this? I confused by your statement:
