You are captive to it.
This numbing redeemer.
Who ever said
putting the genie
back into the bottle
was an impossible task.
It only takes a pill
these days
but it don't last.
And if you're not
all together careful
cradling its contents
so precious like breath
You could end up
smothering your genie
and leaving him for dead.
This numbing redeemer.
Who ever said
putting the genie
back into the bottle
was an impossible task.
It only takes a pill
these days
but it don't last.
And if you're not
all together careful
cradling its contents
so precious like breath
You could end up
smothering your genie
and leaving him for dead.
Mental illness is a real thing that needs real solutions. Pills help get patients stable again but they should not be used to over-medicate into a zombie-like state. Instead, we need to see mental illness as a spiritual awakening for the people who experience this and work with them on an organic and soulful level integrating the mind, body and spirit.
