Locked away
I can't control it
i've tried
The people here try to help
i can tell
But its their job
they have to
they don't want to
I'm not their top priority
I never was
The white rooms
thats all i can think of
sitting on a chair
having the clipboard stare me down
Questions i don't want to answer
They put me away
they said it was for my own good
i don't believe them
im here because they can't handle me
they say they love me
you can't love a monster
i don't know how long i'm going to stay here
they didn't tell me
i know there are others
i just don't see them
they tell me i'm sick
but they can help
i don't want help
here come the questions
“how do you feel today?”
i don't answer
i dont trust them
They look down at the board
“what did you have for breakfast?”
i don't answer
“have you made friends here?”
i don't answer
My days repeat
they are running together
I dont know what day it is anymore
I cant keep track
Its to much
day after day after day
of the same thing
waking up in this room
the questions
not knowing when i can leave
This is how i live
this in my life
everyday
I cant control it
Ive tried
