voluntary

I'm insane so says the state I was abused and traumatized so they locked me in a room took away my belongings and my support system said it was all to help me that room made me so much worse made my trauma cuts so much deeper as they continue to ask if I have ever self harmed all I can think about is the art and jewels speckling my body I finally got out of the institution my mind is still stuck there reliving the pain and heartbreak I was drowning in I can still see the scratches and drawings on the walls from all the people I deemed more insane than me. they screamed for help they resisted and claimed they weren't crazy they harassed me I couldnt understand what most of them had even said but the truth is they're probably just like me locked away for someone else's beliefs until their trauma and pain board so deep that they lost their sense of self we cried we screamed we begged and pleaded we went through the stages of grief as they took away our willingness to live I'm damaged badly irreversibly, but the torture I have now endured will truly haunt me forever
