Therapy is expensive, popping bubble wrap costs less…you decide…?

Told I was told therapy I do need,

For my head, for my brain, for my constant strain,

I get all the therapy I do need,

From writing, from smoking the seed,

Popping bubble wrap costs a lot less,

Sometimes though it leaves a disgusting mess…

Medications raised, the price through the stratosphere,

Won’t be able without insurance to afford it I fear,

Will have to work three jobs to do so and that is clear,

Maybe I should just go and take a deep breath in the ionosphere…?

Moving to the moon, that would be the ticket,

No grass to cut, no weeds to trim, no thickets,

Getting there without a rocket, a most sticky wicket,

Better to just send myself there with a stamp after I lick it…

No options do I have left,

My size a problem, yes my heft,

Maybe I should resort to stealing, yes theft,

Therein I would be arrested & jailed, feeling bereft…
