They took me in,
Beneath the cover of darkness.
They took my shoe laces,
They took my belt,
But not the feelings that I felt.
Men and women in white coats,
Asking questions,
Why I couldn't cope.
Answers given in text book style,
My life neatly placed into a file.
They said to me,
Do you need a pill to sleep?
No, I said,
For in my dreams I have no feet,
So how can I run,
From the demons that will come “
Placed among the other outcast,
Among those I didn't know.
There were the souls,
That the world cared not to know
At night I heard children crying.
Aimlessly wondering the corridors,
Locked behind doors of adult's minds.
I wondered what they did
Like me
To loved no more.
