Holding on

Holding on

Scratchy fidgety

Not finger tight

Life is a much looser

Arrangement than that

Rumours of instability

Meet the threshold

For breaking down

Waiting for pennies

To drop into place

A full time occupation

Catatonia is more

Than hesitation

Hospital beds

Are full of broken pieces

Nails bit to the bone

Always a queue

For the phone

A ward is no place

For the sick

Too many things to

Go bump in the night

Remember, the doctor

Is always right

Ease the pain

With a shot

Everything is a delusion

Is it not

Self-harm

The only defence

For restraint

Whatever you say

You are proved wrong

In a multidisciplinary forum

Without an agreement

On diagnosis

Hospital induced

Psychosis

Is not a joke

Pathological or illogical

It is a disease

Take me home, please
