For a little background: Disjointed on the Ward is actually a series of true events I experienced as a younger man before receiving psychiatric help as an adult. I did my best to recapture the "disjointed" feeling I had, created by a fear of being trapped in a place I couldn't escape and sleeping for many hours a day. It might not make for great poetry, but it felt good to write about it and for it to be seen.

I really liked your poem! It was my first choice by a lot, it being based on reality makes it even better in my opinion. I'm impressed.
Had a hard time figuring out a second poem to vote for, blippys seemed the most solid so i selected it for second place.

I went for Blippy's based on its solidarity as well. I may have exhausted myself by writing from experience when it came time to vote. I liked all the poems, but I wasn't able catch the emotion of anything, so I went with the poem that was most poetically appealing.
this is a horrid time for me to vote but i guess i haven't had a good time this week. reviews, and they will all be *****y:
ophidian eye, rump is where you lost me. good aside from the rhyming.
4dbubble, i feel overexplained to here.
i am the best. i get myself. +100000.
blippy i can barely read the poem. it hurts my eyes.
chillygro, see 4d.
sypes, why are there so many rhyming poems good but a bit full of itself at points. seemingly.
crusible, plainish. too questiony for me. but decent? probably my mood.
sypes and crusible survived my first purge so i guess that's two votes. it is not the 17th yet where i live so this totally counts.

my mouth is full of winsome lies -
and eyes are full of death besides
but luckily the soul is wise -
it sees beyond my blindness and
forced failure makes a better guise,
so as i come again alive,
it feels like life's a decent plan
