girl- interrupted

Do you remember 

in Girl Interrupted

when Susanna erupted

and said she didn't know 

whether or not she was mad

well that bit made me sort of sad

and her troubled journal entries
 too, her wry observations
made me question 

all situations
 that I put down in words

were they real,
or were they like hers

unrelated, fabricated, desecrated,
Not sure why I was so captivated
by her, 

by the troubled writer girl- 

Hmm I don't know,
but I've come to know this; 

I am bound to my book, 

but my book is not me 

you see, humankind we

are not the sum 

of the worst thing

we've ever done.
