Medication

these words can't be mine
they sound from a mind
that's health is not fine

they're full of help 
and hope
and sorrow and rope

its hard to tell
if the writer can or can't 
cope

does he need prosac
or just a fat sack
of dope

maybe i should try it
i wish the voices would
quiet

one says i should feast
one says i should daint
one says you're a saint, you filthy beast
