Straight Jacket Situation
With a disorderly, syringe-induced slap,
dark thoughts welcomed
a groggy passenger to the padded wall madness
Foggy-eyed from the spinal needle tap,
involuntary entrance
was the court-ordered cure for a mental regress
It’s a downright straight-up
bedlam orientation
Dr. Jekyll told me it can sometimes get this way
It’s another face down time’s up
straight jacket situation
Mr. Hyde warned me ‘bout matters tainted gray
Rubbing of the jaw with the shoulder,
restricted arm movement
gave such an asylum alarm static touch
The panic room is ticking bomb colder ...
RN Ratched got a mean attitude
Homeless trash don’t receive love much
Straight jacket situation abnormal ...
mental instability is a see-saw equilibrium equation
Up and down swing moods,
Prozac ride is a pit stop
Emotional elevator giddy pendulum
is a depressing long drop
Rollercoaster shortcuts is a shrink couch sensation
The head doktor tape say,
the strapped patient is mentally leaning
the wrong way most days
Mr. Hyde heard Dr. Jekyll scrip speculate:
Violent tendencies are suggested
by murmuring voices in the ether gray
Suicide rate don't homicide matter
Victim rite of passage
wander aimlessly
in a green maze of numerical data
It’s a straight jacket situation,
the Rorschach test primal rage scale indicate
cranial probes all have a bloody ink blot face
Maniac be 24/7 echo vibration
It’s a downright straight-up
insanity correlation
Dr. Jekyll told Mr. Hyde, it can oftentimes get split this way
It’s another face down time’s up
straight jacket situation
Personality disorder is a terminally ill gray matter long stay
