The Ward
They don’t call it that here
They don’t awknoldge we all are taken from our school
Our lives
And placed in this place
A place to get better they say
But I know what it really is
It’s a prison
School was bad
But this is worse
Locked in this place with all these other kids
I’m missing so much
The musical
My life
And for what
To supposedly get better
But it doesn’t feel better here
The other kids with their crazy eyes
Are mine crazy to?
I just want to get out of here
I’m slamming on the walls of my mental barriers
But I can’t break through
Can’t escape
I just have to go through the program
Program
That’s what they call it
A program
That’s all it is
I’m just sick and getting better
That’s what I have to say
I’m not trapped
This is not a prison
This is a hospital of sorts
I will get better I just need some help
