I heard about a man who has an illness and Has a notion to stop taking
His medication
Which is wrong
Very very wrong
Even if it stops you from being cool
Just write the stuff out of you
And then you can choose
If you want to post it or not
But when I went to the psych ward
I was believed I wasn’t taking my medication
And people were so worried
I had to have tribunal hearings about
Once a month
And when I was told that I don’t need
That anymore I made a pact to myself
To always take my medication
Even if it makes me uncool
I was so worried that I bought
Four more when I had four there
Because of the coronavirus
But when I heard of a man who
Said he had a Bomb strapped to himself which he didn’t really
But he should take his medication
Even if it takes your mojo or reputation away
Just write it out of you
You might not want to but
Those people who say that
Often end up locked up
After getting in trouble
Just stop trying to so called protect your reputation
Because I feel better writing all the stuff out of me
If you feel good you could use another name of someone you don’t know or doesn’t exist in your support group
Too many people want to be cool and by doing that they do things that are uncool because they stop taking medication when they need it
You have to be good
Because getting arrested the police
Isn’t cool
And if you break the law
You should go to gaol or the psych ward
To avoid breaking the law
Write the evil out of you in a story
This piece does exactly that for me
