Girl, Interrupted

So there’s this girl, Susanna Kaysen, who confused life with a dream
She overdosed on aspirin, which the doctor thought extreme
Her excuse was her delusions - she wanted to be sane
He recommends a private mental home, where he tells her to remain

Inside she befriends Georgina, a pathological liar
And a little girl called Polly who’s been badly scarred by fire
Janet’s anorexic, and Daisy is insane
Lisa is a sociopath, with the whole ward in her reign
They talk of wanting freedom, and one night they disappear
Lisa says to meet at night and that’s when things get weird

They hitch a lift to Daisy’s,  and awake in the morning to find
Daisy hanging in the bathroom, suffocated by her own mind
Lisa steals her money and makes for freedom on her own
Leaving Susanna to be discovered and forced back to the home

Then whilst in the absence of Lisa, Susanna begins to feel
Maybe the whole world is stupid, ignorant, but at least the whole world’s real

So she admits her new found thinking, to Dr Wick who then agrees
That her life is back to normal, and that now she could be free

Perhaps she was just crazy, amplified or vaguely corrupted
Or Maybe it was the sixties, that caused and created a girl, interrupted.
