I'm done
Tried to take my life in the summer,
Goodbye to the crazy bitch,
That no one bothered understanding,
Until the no meds, free forming apocalypse.
They chose to turn me away
"not today, you will be just fine"
Took the ticket to nowhere.
Just a waste of their time, and mine?
They don't like my attitude,
they sit waiting for me to cry,
I can't reciprocate their platitudes,
I told them I wanted to die.
I tried to lock the pain away,
Hide the hurt deep inside,
But I guess some spilled out
Maybe in all the tears I had cried.
They say now I’m much better,
Than when they found me Day 1,
Now my contact is sent out by letter,
And I should be proud of how far I've come.
The truth is I don't matter,
I never have and I never will,
Give up with the fake and the flatter,
And pass me the alcohol and sleeping pills.
I'm done

I hope this is not as
I hope this is not as depressing and tragic as it seems at first sight.
It will be Spring soon and the Covid nightmare will hopefully come to an end.
