Gracie Square

dreamt of that place

again

last night

where the

        white coats

took me

having their way with me

telling me

I was crazy

but

I already knew

it was there with me

          my fear

of going back

again

electric shock waves

through

my skull

my skin

crawling with the

germ infested

allergies

in the padded room

no windows

      no

ventilation

I dreamt that no one

cared

no one dared

to ask about what

I was thinking

much like the reality

of it all

my jacket

my anything-but-curvy

jacket

confined me to feeling

like

life was over

I couldn't even think

of moving

of getting

         out

and the white coats

laughed

at me

as the doors of my

inescapable insanity

swing

                   back and forth

Maybe it's just this particular folder of yours that I'm exploring, but your poetry reminds me a little of Sylvia Plath's... who was a very good poet indeed! Just keep your head out of the oven ok... :op
