Lying on my bed like a beached whale
Feeling like an epic fail
Trying to focus on gratitude
Anything to lift my mood.
The weekend past has taken its toll
A good night’s sleep & I’ll be on a roll
Easing my way back into existence
Sure I’ll be grand, that’s my insistence.
The best laid plans may come to nowt
Goals that never come about
Thwarted by the powers that be
Such as Goddamned psychiatry.
Due this week for another injection
And a psychiatric inspection
The hell with this unwanted attention
To be free from meds is my intention.
Meanwhile I must bide my time
Suck it up like stinking slime
It’s my body but I have no say
Refusal means being locked away.
Faith In The Ripple Effect
