I WANT A PLACE

"The real hopeless victims of mental illness are to be found among those who appear to be most normal. "Many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does." They are normal not in what may be called the absolute sense of the word; they are normal only in relation to a profoundly abnormal society. Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society to which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjusted.

Aldous Huxley, Brave New World

This is for those so called unadjusted souls 
Marginalised by those disguised as Human ...


I want a place ..  
I want a place where the people will come 
I want a place that's warm 
A place where there's a smiling face.... a warm embrace 
A gentle touch that conveys a thousand words ...... in just a moment 
A healing space ...

I want a place where a broken man can rest his head and dream a dream 
A place where a child that has nothing can see their worth 
I want a place where a woman who's face has seen her mans fist a thousand times can look in the mirror and say I'm beautiful 
I want a place where beauty is felt and known  and seen within each  of us ...no matter our age ....race ....gender or body shape ..our mental agility or physical ability ...
I want a a place where the man In a wheelchair can stand tall....
 a place where a young girl can look at her tight curls and brown skin and feel proud ....a place where she is allowed .....to feel enough 
I want a place where the young woman  who's self harmed to ease  her pain can receive a loving touch and for a moment feel sane 
I want a place that offers some space around the thoughts of those unadjusted souls ...who's eyes glazed over have lost their spark .. not through fault of their own ....as society would have us believe in our labelling... our medical curses and various diagnosis ...

I want a place where unadjusted is the norm ...
Where to turn a blind eye and live a self serving life will count no more !! 
Yes ...
I want a place for the refugee, estranged from  his land ,his family ...who watched his baby thrown into the sea ...and has no home ... to know he is  welcome ...even with his mobile phone !!
I want a place where the homeless man can eat until he's  full ... to sit around a table and feel a lessening of a pull ...to medicate ...his fragile mental state ...
I want a place to care for the carer who
has given her all  ...with not a thought for herself...at the expense of her own health 
I want a place where a single mother can be mothered for a moment while her children play safely ...and rest 

I want a place that offers the best ...
The best a human can give ...

With Words that tell another to truly LIVE 

I want a place that says  to those who come with nothing ...you are loved. 

 I want a place where KINDNESS  is the gold standard of care  not a commodity  seen in the eyes when the sniff of the pound is there  .
I want a place free from limited minds ...unkind egoic self seekers
I want a place built on the belief we ARE our brothers keeper
