Listen well to doctor man
Eat well and live well if you can
Take your pills and put the bad away
And exercise each and every day
And then you’ll find a better land
Doctor man, he knows best
Won’t let you out to join the rest
Who wandered out into the black
Won’t let you go walkin on that track
As long as you don’t leave a mess
Doctor man, armed well with meds
So what if they mess with your head
No need for all this pain and fear
Ye’ll get better, give it a year
Even if, you just feel dead
Doctor man says, go to the shrink
He’ll make the peace with what you think
He’ll pull and twist and poke and jab
Like you’re poor ratty stuck in lab
And into that sweet hell you’ll sink
Doctor man, that year is done
An I’m still that little broken one
Your promises and pills do naught
I cannot stop my hopeless thought
Can it end? You’ve had your fun
Doctor man, I’m tired of this
I still plead for deaths’ last kiss
I still cry and I still cut
Regardless of your tut-tut-tut
Please, I’ve tried, I won’t be missed.

I’m sorry its not working out for you
Me too. But writing helps.
Modern pharmacology is more demonic than anything else all too often.
Get some grass instead. You know what i mean. What the heck, if ’em doctors can’t help, why not. It’s difficult to get good quality nowadays with anything, grass included, so please, please, just be careful if you’ll go that route.
It really isn’t in me to do drugs though. Regardless of the possible benefits. I suppose I am just tired of being under the influence of anything. However my brain is too bleh to be independent. Joy and joy. Thank you for thew tip though.
As I sit here reading your amazing poem, I can’t help but see a lot of myself in it. It’s been a little over a year since I was in the hospital. I thought by this point in life I would be better. People told me I would. Time, they said, it just takes time. Screw time. It’s running out. I just want to feel happy. Correction: I just want to feel something. Thanks for sharing your poem.
Me too. It just feels like I have already run the race. I didn’t finish it… Bah poor sleepy brain. Thank you for the feedback though.
