Hospice
Colored tiles
Institution baby blue
Rusty grating
Makes it easy to see through
Empty buildings
Used to hold unstable minds
So inviting
Just a fence bordering the line
You all belong
In here with fear
I grew and you
Remain restrained
What did I do with my life?
The weeds have overgrown
No more time to lead instead of follow
To believe anything also
Saline IV
Flows into my thinning veins
And the ceiling
Drips upon me as it rains
Destroying all the things you wish you could have had
Envelop you with sugar flavor so it's not so bad
Synthetically inject you
Just to trick you into saying things
That I would otherwise have had to beat out of you
I know it's cold
So I've been told
Lay down
Open wide
Let's see inside
Don't die on me
I need to see
How long you last
From all days past
