“And the means to be used were multiple – perhaps behavior therapy, cognitive therapy, and even psychopharmaceuticals – for the aim is to reshape brain mechanisms in order to nip those budding psychopaths in the bud.”
Mental Hospital
1700 – Waiting
In line with the others
white robe on my back
lose fitting scrubs adorn my body
I shuffle along
1730 – waiting
There is nothing to do at this time
I am told I have to be here
I am abnormal along with the others
we come from all over
and we are different
1800 – pills
this is how they control us
we all have tendencies
an urge to commit random acts of antisocial behavior
we do not fit in
we are not normal
1805 – waiting
there is nothing to do
but sit and wait
the time is told through waiting
time between appointments
waiting for someone to judge us
1900 – waiting
it is night and all have gone but the few defenders
we must be kept under constant watch
for we are different
but we are ourselves
and all of that is changing
I can feel it each and every night
as pharmaceuticals are thrust down my throat
on a constant regiment
2000 – waiting
I am just waiting to die
one second hand at a time
I am locked in a prison
and all there is to do is wait
I am a threat to society
to my own safety
and they seek to change me
to form me into something malleable and moldable
they seek to make me social
2100 – lights out
