She's Still Here Poem by Dawn Jardine

She's in my head
she never leaves
Not anymore at least

Not since that day
the day that she won't let me remember
won't let me forget

They told me that I was crazy
that I didn't have a place in this world

They told me that they'd take me away
away to where it was okay to be crazy
where everyone was the same

I thought that they meant that they would take her away
quiet her voice in my head
they didn't
couldn't

Instead they made her angry

She will never go away now
or, at least that's what she tells me.
