I thought I'd throw this out there - get some feedback, or whatever.
It was written after a lot of overtime and a steady stream of Hawkwind.

My job is a patient is an asylum
My daily routine is electroshock therapy
Each meeting is a bite down on a rubber gag
Each phone call is a leather restraint
My coworkers are metal gurneys
And their fake smiles are sedatives
It's a demented scream from down the hall
It's clawing at the walls until your hands are bloody
It's a whisper behind your ear from a shadow that melts away
It's the dark figure in the corner of your eye
It's the thousands and thousands of bugs crawling on your skin
It's a sentence with no escape
It's desperately trying to kill yourself with a plastic spoon
It's wailing against iron bars
It's despair personified - the polyrhythm of madness and paranoia
playing a neverending torturous melody in your mind.
It's an oubliette filled with rats and pain
It's a straightjacket
It's a racket.

Not the place to showcase your poetry, but I liked it.
