A song for a friend.

#poem #song #mentalhealth #awareness #depression #mania

She’s so medicated, yeah-

They took her super powers away.

Her sadness lingers like the pajamas that cling to her every day.

And if you ask me,

I’ll tell you how bad it hurts.

I was never able to protect her from all’ the jerks.

I only wish she’d feel alive again. I only wish she’d have some close friends. I only wish someone would love her more than him. I only wish she’d feel better and grin.

Cause when she lites up it’s like Christmas mixed with some kinda Halloween,

It’s like the pure love of Jesus and crude jokes too vulgar and obscene

And if you ask me,

I’ll tell you how bad it hurts.

I was never able to protect her from all the jerks.

And somewhere between prescriptions , you’ll hear her pray. She doesn’t laugh as much as she use to,

There’s black flying saucers in her eyes. I wish I could take on all the evil and fight her battle tonight.

It’s a funny thing, these doctors. I guess they were trying to help. But the shell I see in front of me, doesn’t look like science and technology

But kinda feels like chemical lobotomy.

I’m not sure sleeping 14 hours a day is living. But the doctors keep on giving her the medication

That made her super powers go away.

And one day, I guess,

Maybe Science and Jesus and the best

Of all the physicians

And clinicians

Will be able to bring back my friend to me.

Cause when she lites up it’s like Christmas mixed with some kinda Halloween,

It’s like the pure love of Jesus and crude jokes too vulgar and obscene.
