Going Sane...

Poem Artwork


No more running naked in the rain,


No more to the head nurse do I have to explain,


My medications do keep me quite sane,


God, but I do feel like everyone else, plain…


 


No more bouncing off rubber walls,


No more peeing in the halls,


No more squatting & playing with my balls,


No more humping the horses in the stalls…


 


Anti-depressants, anti-psychotics,


Anti-this and anti-that,


Anti-schizophrenics,


All add up to a happy(?) life,


Supposedly without strife…


 


Just leave me insane,


Wrapped up in chains,


Got this way from the cocaine,


And to a degree the Mary Jane…

Now I've always used a pool que, while playing with my balls
And I take a specimen bottle, when peeing in the halls
But when I'm running naked in the rain, I wear my Wellington boots
Cause' a bolt off lightning up your legs, will fill your ass with soot

LOL, this is fiction! ???
I like your transition!
ED~ Drugs do play a part, in a happy go-lucky heart
I can't get that thought of you squatting and playing with your balls, out of my head
what a thought I do declare...
your writes are real and truly said!
Glad I came here, it's been awhile, I will be baaaaaaaaaack...
You have many page *(since 2003) for me to attack! ;)

Anything and I mean ANYTHING that keeps you from being yourself is nuts. We are born with our own chemical makeup and to change that part of who we are manifests personality disorders and schitzophrenia. I'd rather be myself besides, I miss being myself when I even have the flu. Keep the faith and your being. It's the way we like you.
Love,
Susan

I Can Handle Mary Jane, thought I must admit
it's been quite a while,
I've Tasted her, or held her between
my once upon a time Stained Fingers
Those pills in the palm of that hand
Is approximate the same dozes I need daily
To act normal, that is without the "Pain Of Aging",
keeping my heart tuned up, maintaining the allowed pressure
within my arteries, and all inflamation down to standar
Whatever that means,
A few tokes of Mary Jane woked much better "Then"

Peace Brother

This is without doubt one of your very best Ed.

"No more squatting & playing with my balls,
No more humping the horses in the stalls…"

This, of course, is a very good thing.
