Take The ***ing Pill

white walls are bleeding red
the nurses have bound you to your bed
white walls are closing in
they tell you sternly to rest your head

there is no point in screaming
no one will come
there is no point in fighting
there is nowhere to run

the whores in white watch you sleep
and the doctors lurking in the dark medicate you
and force you to eat

just take your pills
the doctor is standing by
if you protest they’ll electroshock your brain
and call you ill

your only friend has voices in her head
they tell her you’re not real
most days you sit alone in the garden
and try to remember how to feel

you don’t remember when they locked you up
just that you were young
and every night since that day you've prayed
to that deadbeat god above
that this afternoon you’ll be hung.
