The Real You

My best friend and my enemy All and one the same The men in white coats,with stricken faces Tell me ' Its all in my brain ' This is my spirit, a part of me that has always been here They try to shove brightly colored pills down my throat To be sure the real me i wont share Why put a soul in handcuffs and medicate my voice Because i don't fit into society's ego arrogant bubble At least give me a choice She's different from the rest, that will never do Belittle, mock and medicate No one will ever see the real you
