She has problems

They say to one another.

 .

You need help

They say to me.

 .

No I dont,

I say to them.

 .

Yes you do

They say to themselves

 .

They locked me away,

Cut my contact with others

 .

This will help you

They say to me

 .

 For surely it would help,

Right?

 .

I do not talk,

I do not eat,

I cannot sleep,

All I do is think.

 .

Thinking is a dangerous thing

I say quietly,

While they are watching me

 .

They don't notice my decreasing health,

All they notice is their decreasing wealth.

 .

It kills me,

Oh it does so,

To hide my emotions,

To not let them show.

 .

Weeks later,

I stayed strong

And finally

They admitted they were wrong

 .

We were wrong

They say to me

 .

Of course you were

I say to them

 .

He let me out of my prison

For a forever while

 .

So I could contact others

And give them a dial

 .

She is dead

They say to others

 .

She thought too much

Thinking with dread.

 .

My soul was freed

From this rotten earth

 .

As my limp body was hanging

From the noose I thought

Of making In my room.
