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………..
