Re-Habbed
I know I’m not normal
In the sense I want to be
And I can’t make the world conformal
Or the center of it me
I lived day to day always in the same day
Caught in a mind I didn’t know
And I couldn’t will it drink it or drug it away
So I had to find some way to go
I went to the wife the doc and the shrink
Anywhere for some relief
All I was given was a little pill so pink
And told to take it with belief
It took a long time to get the right pill
To do what my mind needed of it
Then at last one worked and my mind got its’ fill
Yet I needed something more to get full benefit
Off to a rehab to learn to live anew
And learn how to re-think
So many things I had to learn to do
And the process would at times stink
The process has been painful the process slow
The trip has been a wild ride
But for all the troubles I’ve seen myself grow
And my smile is a mile wide
