Quote by Melissa C. Water

“I found it fascinating that there could be so many realities. There was the truth, which was the world we lived. There was also the worlds we would create for ourselves in our minds. In truth, there are countless universes and realities hiding within all of mankind.”

“When you go into the psych ward, you can’t have anything with you except colored pencils. You can’t have any electronics. If you have a drawstring on your pants, a belt, shoelaces, a hood, or extra-long fabric, your very clothes are ripped off your back. They search you with a metal detector like you’re a criminal, doing everything short of putting their hand up your butt. Before you go through those cold, automatic, barred doors, you know your life is not your own. This is especially true during the first week, while you stare at florescent lighting and wait impatiently for your meds to kick in. I wish I had remembered the psych ward prison cell a week ago. If I had, maybe I wouldn’t be wearing this hospital gown that they gave me until I can get more compliant clothes.”

“They stared with asperity Yet kindness in hearts The eyes told stories That carried pain, so strong it turned wrinkles strong, the knuckles weak with agony, and the forehead perspire. Their minds were tired I told them I'm tired too, you know? I've tried... We've tried too...they say So we cry in silence Our hearts bond in the dark Yet a light bonds us From a source unknown From I do not know where But I bow in wonder We hold hands And smile, for the first time since years, This time I cry in jubilation They join, and we watch the stars in our dreams Constellations they form We fall asleep in wonder. - Inked Confessions: The Untold Psych Ward Letters”
