I got out because i am hard to squash and could see through them even when pregnant and manic and insane

I sat on a bed with bill there slowly listing off the 22 times they had broken the mental health act and 6 times the law

I was released after 5 days of hell & a sudden removal of all medications to a woman carrying a baby

But what would have happened if i wasnt white, if i didnt have advocates calling the hospital on my behalf, if i didnt know my way around the law & legal speak
If i didn't speak english

Abolish it
