Mental health unit

Incarcerated behind unbreakable glass and locking doors But I committed no crime Decisions made for me But none of them mine Weekly multidisciplinary meetings Bombarded with questions decisions made Yet again I am told what I expected I have to stay longer Can not be discharged home again this time Never lost my temper or raised my voice in any way But my mental health team against my will they make me stay I more than anyone understand that I am not mentally well But I am no danger to anyone This I know full well Criminals in prison have a date of release But because I am unwell i don't have mine So I am going to change my life through poetry With paper and ink Line by line by line

I have a mental health illness and I was a inpatient in a private secure mental health hospital not because i was a danger to the public but because i myself was the only person who was in danger from me was myself and that will reflect in my poetry...
