Donations are essential to keep Write Out Loud going    

Today,

I awake, 

Bleary eyed, 

Can't face this day, 

They say they are going to take me away, 

Take my liberty

Freedom and dignity again, 

Don't tell me a time or a place, 

I've been through this before, 

I know how iit works, 

I know the law, 

I know the sytem, 

But my protector isnt here,, 

What abut the cancer I ask,  we won't treat you for that just your mental heath, 

I long for the Ocean,,

I  look at a friend's  painting of when I was free,

On a Greek beach swimming in the sea..

Take a holiday in your mind
And as you travel you may find
A place of peace and comfort there
Free from hurt and mortal care...?
