I don't cut anymore!
Because I'm checked every night.
I don't even glance at sharp things!
Because my razor was taken away.

I'm sober!
Because there's a lock on the liquor cabinet.
I don't even ask for a taste!
Because I'm not allowed in bars.

I'm off the medication!
Because it was hidden somewhere.
I don't even think about overdose!
Because I'm on antidepressants.

I don't bash my head into the wall!
Because there's a camera in my room.
The blood stains are faded!
Because a professional was hired to get the walls and floor clean.

I don't have suicidal thoughts anymore!
Because I'm on happypills.
I don't even try to kill myself!
Because I'm under constant supervision.

I don't drink the chemicals!
Because the kitchen sink was emptied.
The bleach doesn't have any effect on me!
Because believe me, I've tried.

Clean.
What does that even mean?
To be free, of the dirty habits that used to haunt you?
You gave them up, now you're clean.

Or you were blocked off.

I really like this. It was very clever and something, I never really thought of. Keeping using your pain and struggle to create such great, very relate-able and comforting for some of the most distrubed(which is what they really need... some comfort) artwork. :)

I agree, I find that writing out the pain, the trauma, in such brute honesty is one of the best cures of the mental struggle. I loved how every other italicized line just felt like a gutshot of reality, injected into powerful prose.

And you know what else I like about this nice piece? It's one of those rare works that makes you question the psychology of a person. Are people really feeling better, intrinsically, or is it just extrinsic, and how they are merely *perceived* as being clean? Old habits die hard, I guess.

All in all, just a bombshell of truth, with very few filler words. Great job :)
