Her Mama's threat had come to pass,
She now lived in the insane asylum at last.
Thrown amid the droolin mass,
This was her fate, the die had been cast.
Wild-eyed strangers, screamed and moaned,
This living Hell was now her home.
Vacant eyes watched and stared,
Afraid to move, she huddled in a chair.
An old hag, screamed a lullaby,
To a doll she shook, cause she thought it cried.
A slack-jawed man, with gnarled fingers, gave her a poke,
He laughed hysterically, her scream was his joke.
Then more inmates gathered around,
They pulled and tugged at her hair and gown.
She screamed and screamed, but no one came,
No one bothered, for she was judged insane.
She screamed until she lost her voice,
She whimpered and trembled, knowing she had no choice.
She was entombed with the living dead,
With babbling entities, who were demented and out of their head.
She prayed daily for death and sweet release,
Day or night, she got no peace.
She now fits in, see her vacant stare?
As she rocks and smiles, a wild thing in a chair.

thoughts but decided to hang on to them. Hugs. -gene.
Such a sick! upsetting feeling and sad known knowledge! I know this too well, had to visit a friend at one, kinda' ( no - it did, these PEOPLE walked around like zombies and their heads down, and this was a partial program, some stayed over.
It shook me up as I walked through the courtyard! I could feel their PAIN, CONFUSION and EMPTINESS they felt, I sat and spoke with 2 women and did my BEST to boost their spirits, but knowing- they might not even remember our talk - They were called back in by some orderly and I left too, telling them to be STRONG! and remember to Stay Strong and don't let others walk all over you! YOU deserve better, one women Suzzie, gave me a hug and a smile, and I started to walk away with tears... I was sad all day from that visit - but it is their sad life! Enough said - Your poem brought much to the surface! Means you stirred me up Women!
Entombed is a great name for solitary in minds/etc.
WRITE ON!
