Hospital Psych. Ward

Hospital psych ward 

 

I hear the cry of other patients wanting the pain to stop. I hear the screams of people angry with authority 

 

I heard the yells and the bangs of fists against walls of people frustrated and not understanding. 

 

Why can't all just be well 

 

Why do people have to be put in here? Put in restraints and be terrified and angry at people who just won't listen. 

 

You can be suffering and screaming and banging your head and they won't even notice.

 

What's the point of being in here if they don't even care? 

 

What's the point of all this?
