Poem about a man in a mental institution coping with a lost family.
Just The Other Day
Mama they think I’m crazy
They won’t let me go
They give me these pills
It makes everything slow
Mama, I’m sorry for what I’ve done
Just let me come home
They put me in this jacket
When I do something wrong
It’s not fair, let me go
Get this fuckin thing off me!
Talk to me like an adult
Quit speaking so softly
I’ll tell you what makes me crazy
The sound of their voice
They tell me I have to stay here
That I have no choice
What the fuck is going on
Somebody explain
I can’t remember shit
I keep racking my brain
I swear I’ll calm down
If you just let me loose
I don’t understand any of this
Just give me some clues
Where’s my parents, my sister
The ones I hold dear
Find them, they’ll tell you
That I don’t belong here
What do you mean you can’t get them
Just give me a phone
I’ll get them on their cells
If they’re not at home
Quit telling me I’m sick!
Bitch I know what I am
I want to speak to my family
What do you not understand
What are you talking about, that can’t be
We were just together
Me and my sister went to the movies
Just let me go get her
She’ll tell you, we watched a movie
It was just the other day
Fuck you! , you’re lying
I believe nothing you say
I’m not 40 years old!
I’ll be 28 this year
My family needs me
Let me out of here
Why are you doing this, this is wrong
They can’t make it without me
If you keep me here to long
They’ll start to worry about me
Quit saying that! They’re alive!
I just saw them the other day
Shove those pills up your ass
Why are you treating me this way
Please not the needle
Please doctor, no
Mama they think I’m crazy
They won’t let me go………..
