Call the Maintenance Men

I’ve lost it. I’m exhausted. I can’t handle another day of these Auditory hallucinations. Doors creaking Open Voices carrying around basins. These days with no sleep are starting to Become costly, to my overall health. Wait, do I need help? Hold up! Grab a wrench! grab your tool belt! We’ve got to get this girl back to Stellar mental health ! Wait, I’m not a machine? I said to myself They said it’s okay ma’am We’re trained in these sorts Of matters better than anybody else Feeling stressed you say, take a shot Of vodka while we take a look at you Right away A little elbow grease and your brain Won’t be on its knees anymore You’ll be back on your feet in no time Miss, we can’t miss with our new And improved stationery kits. Just relax and you’ll improve It’s not like you’re the only one Going through this.
