When the question more important than the answer
The question has become more important than the answer
This isn’t fair it’s like a cancer
Slowly killing the soul inside out
Silence on the outside, insides scream and shout
Demolition derby inside the mind
Only you they undermine
The fact they care about numbers not people
Makes them calculated and evil
No other industry so they gaslight
Making the individual want to see the light
They use your vulnerability as ammo
In a war between you and a shadow
As the mind plays tricks in every direction
They take delight in extra deception
Professionals they claim to be
They are supposed to be able to set those thoughts free
No one in healthcare would leave you to rot
Feel like your left where time stopped and forgot
When was it that only one can treat
While all the others did a hasty retreat
Only one has the power to help you heal
While the rest encourage pain and ordeal
You beg for help and they watch
Only their tea making abilities are top notch
Struggling for survival while they pray
An oath they took they also betray
Meanwhile your stuck in a system
Broken by tyranny who are full of wisdom
Praying on the sick and vulnerable
To say and do nothing to hold them accountable
