Dementia in the Emergency Department

I am trapped, head to toe, in a world that has no shame,

My body but a vessel, for a mind that has no frame.

 

I am trapped behind a glass, an animal on display,

The lights shouting aloud above me, searing me with pain.

 

I am trapped behind a curtain, but the whispers come and go,

Faces that loom above me, like an audience at a show.

 

I am trapped and squeezed and moulded, tied down and made to sleep,

I am pushed through big black holes, in nothing but my sheets.

 

I am in the very crutches, of what I thought was hell,

But now I can’t help thinking, what if this is all that’s real?
