This is not where I belong.

I belong in a tiny room
with white padding,
as white as the whipped cream
~you use on the ice cream
~in your sundae.

A room with only one window;
my only means of communication
with the in-control
and the sane.
Television dinners shot through a slot,
three times a day,
always on schedule.
What will it be today?
Steak...maybe chicken...
some cold mashed potatoes on the side?

A room that leaves me uneasy,
Claustrophobic to
the walls closing in on me;
losing all sense I still have
with each breath
of contaminated air
I breath in.

I hate the smell of hospitals. *

~I really didn't want to change the last 2 lines of the first stanza but since it is probably considered 'inappropriate' *rolls eyes*, I just changed it quickly. If you're interested in seeing what it REALLY says, email me.

"In life you must dance like no one is watching, sing like no one is listening and love like it's never going to hurt..."

Stone Sour is the *edit*. I enjoy their music. Especially, what is it, song seven or eight. Wait, maybe it's 12. The slow one? "Bother"

This is a good poem, babiedoll. It was imaginative. Adapting inspiration from songs is always tought, I've done it a couple of times with "Tommy Lee" and others. Eminem a lot, as well. Email me sometime, "[email protected]." Allright?
