A place where you can learn about realities previously unnoticed

A place where you can bring headphones and hide in the bathroom

A place where artistic expression is paramount, but formal art groups are dumbed-down.

The inpatients are the sane ones.

Corruption is rampant.

Meds are pushed.

A place for respite.

It is hard to sleep even with sedatives.

There is violence.

Knocking their heads against the wall to pass time. Overflowing a bathtub just to get attention.

Need to avoid making waves in the face of adversity…what is human?

A place that is difficult to get in and out of.

We mess with each other. We fall in love with each other. We get punished for it.

Crush on a nurse…and,

the rules shift paradigm.

A concentrated reflection of many lives.

The scent of hypersensitivity.

The place of which is no longer an option.

A world within a world.
