I'd read this at ROMP , but it has a few bad words in , then again, what's a better two syllable word than 'fucking'?
There's a girl here
Who's really fucking happy
Like too happy
She's on too many meds
It's messes with her head
It's like seasonal affective
But instead day night affective
As soon as the light hits her face
She's smiling
Just so glad to be away from the demons in the shadows
But
When the darkness comes again
You see the meds wear off
You see her face drop
I read her eyes like open book
Her feelings stashed in accessible nook
She remembers everything that has happened to her
How she was spoken to
How she was hurt
How unfairness seemed to always be playing her game
So they put her in padded cell
Seriously
In a white box
With nothing to entertain herself with
Lock her in with her thoughts and throw away the key
That's fucking exactly what happened to me
