Thank you for your honesty on this piece. I really feel this fitted the situation at hand during that time.

Empty-Lost-Alone
Darting eyes open wide
Voices to fit mind hallucinations.
Reality or Fantasy

Right way or Wrong way
Zoloft-Paxil-Prozac-Xanax
Temporary relief until tomorrow.

Televisions blarring loud
Strangers with endless conversations
Wild laughter for no reason
Hysterical crying with no meaning.

Green-tiled floor
White padded echoed rooms
Nurses-Doctors-Orderlies and such
Hush now baby don't say nothing.

This was written for my younger sister, at the tender age of 21 she had a complete nervous breakdown. I had to watch as she was carried away by 4 strong orderlies and put into a straight jacket.
Praise the Lord she is well now and has
been for a long time.

I Love You Jacque!
