You see when I told my trainer that I was on drugs,well that is what he thought and what I was saying is
That if you feel like taking drugs
You write the problem in your brain out of you as opposed to taking them
Because taking drugs is wrong
You see I want to work
So I must take the negative energy from my brain and be positive about
Getting work
I must talk about working the 8 hour week and try and negotiate with the boss and if o can’t do that I negotiate with the people I see on the days where they want me to work
You see I don’t want to give up my art
And I don’t want to give up bowling
And I don’t want to tell him
That I am writing my problems out of me especially if I want them to help me find work
I need to answer the questions good
And professionally especially if I want to go to the next step in my life
I have to make myself look respectable
And I have to look well-groomed
I can’t slurl my speech
I need to be heard
I ain’t really into being like that
Well, I want to look nice
But if the job is a cleaner or a gardener I can’t see the point
But I don’t really want to be a gardener just a cleaner or bus boy
I do want to work
And I want to tell them I do art
But not if people are forcing me to
Sell it for profit at a low paid booth
No I do want to hold a solo exhibition
Where if I sold something it’ll be cool
But not at trash and treasure
My art is not my trash
I want to make good money for them
If I are to get rid of them
I have to be professional when I talk to the personnel group
Because I want to work
