Terrifying Day

It was a horrible day
The one that follows
It brings tears to my eyes
Makes me feel so hallow

I was in the bathroom
Rolling up my sleeves
Washing my hands
Not suspecting a thing

A surprise attack
My mom walks in
She looked at my arms
And asked what had happened to them

Not making a sound
With her eyes so wide
She walked over to me
Pushing me down

I screamed, I yelled
I kicked her hard
She held me down
Staring at my arm

Five slits in a row
Across my left wrist
Bright red as can be
I tried to escape her mitts

Pulling away
I was flying free
Taking refuge in my room
Packing a few things

A blanket, a coat
A cell phone too
Some pictures of my friends
Where would I be with out any of you?

I climbed out the window
Running from the truth
Rain washing away
Any crying proof

I spent the night out there
Away from my fears
Only to come back the next day
And see everything so clear

Punished I was
Grounded for days
My own mother could not look at me
Not this way

Until the next day
She walked in the room
Several emotions on her face
Ones I could not tell if were good

She told me I needed help
And she could not do it
She was sending me away
To a horrible place, I new it

Mentals and physicos
They were all there
White rooms straight jackets
I was so scared

Pills on the hour
Shots every day
Therapists to talk to me
About how I got this way

I never want to go back there
Never want to be seen
In a place like that again
Not for any thing

My problems are gone
My fears ran away
Any chance of the past coming back
Is very slim they say

So I’m all right now
I’m okay
Its time for me to let the past go
And move on to the next day.
