*Ode to Institutionalization* 07.10.2013
'Cause you'll win no matter what I do
This situation
Stuck on stupid a decade
Heart thumping like shoes in dryer
Palm and penis scuffed
Like floorboard
Gums and teeth bleeding
Wrists chapped
Overwashed, underloved
Oppressive machinations
'Cause I get out in four days
And I'm fucking scared
Didn't think I'd make it
Deserved it
Just wanting to see her
Hold her naked
Revolution can wait until I've bled
Pain between blankets
"Why you crying, baby"
"Your skin, beautiful, I dreamed it"
'Cause kicked in the gut
Three hundred and sixty five times nine
Crawling on cold cement naked
Relishing its touch
Grueling days, broken teeth nights
Jaws clenching, eyes clouding
Water exists inside me
Touch of coldness or heat
My only feeling these
One oxygen, two hydrogen
'Cause you sick, twisted motherfucker
You broke me
Me and my daddy
But the pieces
We snap together as armor
Pointed up. Double jointed
Hearts twice the size
Quadruple my joy laughing
Triplicate empathy sharing cries
I died but am reborn
'Cause I forgive you
And honestly love you
Without you I'd never have seen
The usefulness of pain
