Quite mad, oh yes,
quite mad,
they said.
Need to protect
her from herself.
Poor creature,
so crazed,
so angry,
they said.
No choice,
but to section her.
Safer, oh yes,
much safer,
they said.
Pleased
to
have
found
the
answer.

Complacency and smugness - easy answers to a very complex situation. Only you are in your head and only you know.
Great stuff and keep on writing it

Bobo, this is good- succinct, perfectly phrased and a marvellous use of rhythym. The last section works particularly well, like a kick in the gut. Marvellous. Less is more, and this really delivers.

Tina & Anna -

Thanks so much for those encouraging words. Sometimes it's tricky to write about personal experiences that were traumatic, so I'm glad you think this works.

Who's crazy - the one in a world of their own, or the ones pointing, remonstrating, sedating and misunderstanding?
