What happened?
You were a good man.
You built a career
A life
A family
A home
How did you end up here?
This isn't your home.
Your home had photos
Had laughter
Had affection
Had love
Who put you in this
Cold, dispassionate room?
Surrounded by strange pictures
Strange smells
Strange sounds
Strange faces
When did you stop being human -
Seen only as an old thing?
Discarded like an odd sock
An expired coupon
A rusted nail
A bad idea.
You are so much more
Than a thing unneeded.
You are a vessel of wisdom
Knowledge
Experience
Life
You deserve better.
