In the psychiatric waiting room
you asked me if I believed you could get better.

Now,
I don't hail Mary or believe in ghosts,
but I've prayed until I heard thirteen footsteps on the roof—
and heard it enough times to not question if it was you.

But the hierarchy of monarch butterflies
in my stomach are hesitant to take precedence
over the moths quick to blame

you when your twitter hashtags are hashmarks;
like high scores in psych wards.

....
I'm a bit stuck on this piece. I need to write this poem, and get my friend out of my system. So feedback is welcome and worshiped. :worship:

Let me know if you would like for me to upload me performing the poem so as to see how I intend to perform it (for further feedback of course :) ).
