Frayed Edges

Three to make it ok 
Three to make it go away 
Doctors have no cure
Of this they are sure 

People coming, people going 
Faces everywhere, none showing 
Pain and suffering
All a game of buffering

Masks of life worn 
Hearts torn 
What’s the use
Why take the abuse 

Another visit gone awry
Life just seems to pass me by 
Feeling trapped 
Mind collapsed 

On the fringes 
Everyone cringes 
Oh the humanity 
Oh the vanity

Needing answers, finding none
Feeling the cold shun 
Society I’m really ok 
Tomorrows another day 

Worth having around 
Possibilities abound 
Up down 
Lying on the ground 
 
White coats
Hope my love floats 
Hard times arise 
Tattered pieces of a life comprise

Three to make it ok 
Three to make it go away 
Doctors have no cure
Of this they are sure
