Fixed

Jenn F.
White pills
They’re so small
Just enough 
Down the hatch

Peace at last— 

Awake
Bright lights
Shouting
IV’s

“What were you thinking?”
“How could you do this?”
Questions
No answers

Locked doors
Paper clothes
One blanket
One pillow
Can’t be too safe

“We’re here to help.”
“We’re going to fix you”

Scheduled meals
White walls
Judging eyes

Take this medicine
And this one
This one too

Time to go home
All better now
Just take your medicine

All better now
All better now
All better now
All better now
