Half Way Home Poem by mike ruthenbeck

Banished, yet committing no crime at all
For treatment of illness undiagnosed
Wailing only captive composure call
Plaintive smile to observation post
Well am I! chomping my bit for working
Social security benefits naught
My county paperwork simply clerking
Remembering every lesson been taught
Regarding appearance of well being
In frustrated appeal for freedom sought
Without contempt for what places seeing
Half way home to my life in retrieving
Medicated sanity revealing
Only relationships worth my grieving
A county worker's cards in the dealing
Detriment to my only concerning
Free will regarding nurse's discerning
