Asylum

March 15, 2013
By Anonymous

Bound to the frames
The metal clasps shake
All voices one in the same
Body starts to quake

A man in white
Walked in the room
Turning day into night
Happiness into gloom

Alert and awake
Screams with all might
For life's sake
Begins to fight

Men now attack
Knocked quite silly
They hit the sack
Planned all carefully

Returned back home
Family disgraced
The leisurely roam
Out of place

A call was made
Men in white returned
Slowly the memories did fade
But for one did still yearn

When my friend tried to get out of rehab, the family wrote to me. I can never see him again.
