I When I Argue I Argue
For the Child
That I was
Not the Woman
That I Am
Please
Ensure
That Victims of
Crime
Do not
Become
Increasingly Victimized
Even in the Noble Profession
Of Psychiatry
It is not for Psychiatrists
To Judge and Demonize
The Patient
We Should As a Nation
And as a Compassionate World
For isn't that how We would
Wish to Remember
Ourselves
We cannot go on
Casting Out
The Mentally Ill
As if they were
Some sort of Cast System
That puts Us on the Lowest Peg
Of the Ladder
For Eternity
What We must do
As a Humane Society
Is Plot a Path of Employment
for Them
So that they can Maintain
A Semblance
Of Dignity
In the Community
I Know Vincent Van Gogh
Would have His Fists
Bared for me
And a Tribunal
Especially for Psychiatric Patients
Is a must
We must be 
FORWARD
Thinking
PLEASE
I argue
for myself
As a Thirteen Year Old
Don't let them
Fall by the way
To be taken 
Advantage Of
Are We as a Nation
Going to offer
Psychiatric Patients
Work Rehabilitation 
Before We continue
To Medicate
Ad Lib
Are We Compassionate
Or Dispassionate?
Have We removed
Ourselves
From Their Suffering
As a way of
Coping
That is the Future of Psychiatry
To find People's
STRENGTHS
And not
Underline their 
Weaknesses
And Condemn
I am a Shining Example
Of Why We
Must Not
Rely only upon
Medication
To treat the Patient
And then Scoff at
From behind Pedestals
I was a Brilliant Piano Player
And Good Sports Woman
Perhaps We could put aside
A Whole Island
For the Mentally Insane
Where Nobody
Laughs
And Nobody
Condemns
It is So Boring
Attacking the Weak
And being Indifferent to 
Their Plight
Psychiatry
Must Shake Itself Down
And not allow
The Victimization 
Of Psychiatric Patients
To Continue
PLEASE
