I know a place, locked doors, windows & gates

White tiles and gray... desparing scenery

And I know a face, young girl, out of place

Saddened & strange

Makes no sounds at all

locked away just like a doll.

-

Anna woke today

Rubs her eyes is so afraid

And she wonders why she stays

With the other kids in the mental wing

Poor Anna, sits and waits.

-

Slave to the bore

Pills...they just bring me more

Ears hear no sounds, memories just bring be down

And I see them with toys

Parents with girls and boys

Sleepy they read

Promised to visit me

Repeating in my memory

-

Anna loves to wave

Watches them most everyday

And she wonder when she'll play with the other kids

But she thinks of better days

If she could she'd run away

But she screams aloud and says

"I'm not like the other kids"

In the mental wing, for Anna sits and waits

-

I know a place

Young girl, tears on her face

Saddened it's strange

She makes no sounds at all...

-

Anna sleeps today

Cradles up and slips away

And I wonder what she takes to reduce the pain

And her memories of Anna...slowly fade
