They ask in tick box fashion,

"any thoughts of suicide?"

"on a scale of one to ten

might you harm yourself again?"

 

I split my flesh, impassioned

with words I just can't speak,

the knife shows no compassion

when the will is beaten weak.

 

My life is in their system,

cross referenced, filed away...

red flags? you bet they missed them,

what else is left to say...
