The Mind’s Prison

Navigating the mental four walls in an isolation ward

This poem is a short extract from the longer story, which details my experience in receiving medical treatment in an isolation ward, and the effects it had on my mental health.

A rude awakening
Leaves me not in my right mind
I’m dragged out of a peaceful slumber
While my trusty leash holds me tight
