My Salvation
I step out into the open
 And look around
 Stares follow me
 Everwhere I go
 Stares of friends
 Stares of classmates
 
 I can feel the fear,
 the anger,
 the hurt,
 confusion
 
 I can feel the superiority
 the condenscension
 the arrogance
 disgrace
 
 I walk towards the ambulance
 Hold my head high
 Tell myself they're ignorant
 they're snobs
 
 I hold my breath
 And get in
 
 They drive away
 I'm scared
 I'm lost
 
 They see this
 They do nothing
 
 We drive
 and drive
 and drive
 
 Long enough to calm down
 Long enough to think
 Long enough to get anxious
 
 I see the sign
 Coming closer
 Mental hospital
 
 I'm deranged
 I'm a lunatic
 What's wrong with me?
 
 I get inside
 We go to a room
 There's another girl
 
 Strip search
 Heat colors my cheeks
 And horror fills my mind
 Tears come to my eyes
 
 It's true
 It's all over
 I'm lost here
 I am a fugitive
 
 They take my thinks
 They look me completely over
 It's disgraceful
 I'm ashamed
 
 They take note of everything
 Every little mark
 All over my body
 In case I escape
 
 There's no going back
 I'm stuck here
 I'm going to die
