Psychiatric Units

7.30 start
Up, shower
Let your hairy legs dry
Breakfast takes a while
The anorexics take forever
Staring at their food
Like it is poison
Which to them, it is
Snack times, observations
Don't forget to go for meds
If you've got any sharps
They'll soon be gone
The nurses are friendly
The patients are too
You almost forget
You're in hell, don't you?
Psychiatric units
Mental ward
Breakdown house
Whatever you call it
Whatever you do
They're all people
I'm a person
A human
Just like you.
