I escaped twice from a psychiatric ward
It required determination, strategy and timing
So the first time
I went into the garden the height of the fence was about eight feet
I looked at the blue plastic coated sofa
Checked the corridors for nurses
I’m strong so pulled the sofa into the garden
Put it on its end upright
Climbing on top of the sofa was quite a challenge
Sensed my timing
Climbed onto the drain pipe
Over the fence
Then jumped another fence
And ran to the tube station
Bought tobacco on the way
Got on the tube to a train station
Travelled to Ramsgate
Turned up at my friend’s house uninvited
That was a shock for them
People made calls
Told my father not to drive to fetch me
He did
Screamed at him for coming
Told him to go home
Tried to leave
My friend called me back
Huge mistake
The Police arrived
They took me to the local hospital
Waited for hours
Drove me back in the cage
Lit a smoke in the cage
They stopped the van
Confiscated the smokes
Put me back on the ward
Was put on One on One
The second time was harder
They’d locked the garden door I escaped from the first time
Patients were around
Needed the staff to be distracted
Asked the spirits to distract them
Got a table in the community area
Dragged it outside to the ten foot fence
Found another table
Checked for nurses again
Timing
Dragged the other table and put it on top of the first base table by the fence
Found a chair that would sit on top of the two tables
Climbed up on top of the chair
Jumped the fence
Walked from Tooting to Camberwell
Without a phone or bank cards so I couldn’t be tracked
Bled
Got to my friend’s flat
He was so kind
Bought me what I needed
Lent me boxers
Was somehow tracked
Hid with strangers in the upstairs flat
Watched the ambulance and my mother arrive
Kept hiding
Thought about going somewhere else
Went back to his
Mars Security turned up
Drove me back to the ward
Was put back on One on One
Moral of the story
Do what you gotta do in life
And never underestimate your freedom!
