I am presumed psychotic and in denial <br />I wonder if I will ever leave this place <br />I hear people screaming down the halls <br />I see nurses rush to quiet them <br />I want to be free <br />I am presumed psychotic and in denial <br /> <br />I pretend I am not here <br />I feel their eyes watching me <br />I touch the bars gently <br />I worry I will never leave <br />I cry out trying to get someone to notice me <br />I am presumed psychotic and in denial <br /> <br />I understand why they treat me this way <br />I say I am fine <br />I dream of the day I am free from this place <br />I try and explain <br />I hope one day they realize their mistakes <br />I am presumed psychotic and in denial<br /><br />Alice Silvers<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mistakes-97/
