Label or Not
He fiddled his pills and said I was ill- mental was certain the type.
OCD, ADD, PCP, LSD, he threw letters at me.
He gave me short shrift and flipped me a script, to give me a lift.
Chemical mind, chemical me, seemed a bit unfit.
I hadn’t understood, from where that he stood, he knew why I grieved or if I was pleased.
With pills in my hand and script with his plan, he said all would be well; he’d seen it before and these pills would level the score.
Lucky for me I wasn’t able to see, how pills in my throat would make me more me.
I dispensed of his pills, and felt no more ill.
A future I planned, away from this man.
Labels weren't for me.
