3/9/12

Pretty broken girls

I wish I could fix them all

I'm codependent

*     *     *

Stirring up the shit

I feel like I'm McMurphy

Lobotomize me?

3/10/12

I'm feeling anxious

I won't go to my bedroom

I won't isolate

"Zachary"

A Freddy Prinze clone

"It's a conspiracy, man!"

Six A.M. dancing

*     *     *

"Nina"

She left then came back

Young enough to be my kid

She'll soon find her strength

*     *     *

"Tiffanie"

Pretty wife and mom

Like Kara Thrace with red hair

First to read my words

*     *     *

"Charice"

So quiet that first day

We all worried about her

She's so different now

*     *     *

"Shannon"

She giggled all day

We had some conversations

She's pretty normal

*     *     *

"Brit"

More than just a "tech"

Better than a counselor

She comforted me

Mt birthstone should be

Unobtainium. I want

What I cannot have

*     *     *

Every time I'm here

I get a crush on a girl

Hardly the best place

*     *     *

I'm still obsessing

I've been here over a week

Can't I turn it off?

*     *     *

This actually helped

I'm going back to bed now

Sweet dreams and sweet meds

*     *     *

"Nina"

Envelope in hand

Holding onto it for strength?

I hope it helps her
