I wrote some poems tonight that are based on a few of my cousin's paintings. I had written one a while back with the intention of doing the other two in his series of paintings, but I just got around to it. Tell me what you think.



I haven't been here long
They say I need it
To save me from myself

No hope
Only hate

How is this working?
Leaving me to rot
Awat from it all

Torn from my dreams
As I was torn from the world
For this so-called "treatment"

No help
Only hurt



This solitude, they say, will calm me down
Yet it only fuels my rage
Nothing seems to help

Explosive hate
Wrenching lonliness

The window here shows me the world
A world that put me here
A loathsome, vile world

I long to return
To get away from here
And from myself

Explosive ego
Wrenching depression



Cold, dark night spills through my window
Cold, hard dagger rips through my heart
Warm, wet tears run down my cheek

Lights dimmed
Walls cracked

These walls keep my company
When the world turns its back
And the knife in mine turns

Unplugged from the world
Not wishing to go back
So I watch from here

Outlook dimmed
Sanity cracked
