Lifer by Jonny be good (a poem)

Have not been writing much :writing_hand: just focusing on my recovery, therapy, health and vitamin taking right now

However I did write this poem about the psych ward

Hope it’s insightful and I hope ppl can relate a little

Lifer by Jonny

With stained piss walls

And deep shut doors

Surely a place you should ignore

The glass is bulletproof

You’d be better off playing a game of pull-a-tooth

Than to try to bust that down.

Surely nobody can smoke

And with a daily dose

Morning, afternoon and night

Every person must be lost that is in plain sight.

With a jail town feel. All one or zero course meals

Only thing to look forward to now is how do you feel?

When they stick pricks in your wrist and butt

While they give you spiels on how you ■■■■■■ up the deal and you’re just a nut. Like cmon, for real?

I swear I’m just confused

After all the times I faced so much god damn abuse

Got every other tooth punched in

And to cope I drank too much juice and gin, and became a little too aloof. So I sinned.

So oh well, then they give you pharmaceutics,

Tell you you’re in the matrix,

Give you a feeling that nothing can be real,

And then you pace around the medic tables looking to just heal

It’s been near hectic for you since you were just about a cradle

So doc, how bout you shove that label

Up your ass

Schizophrenia, bipolar, whatever, I swear none of these therapists ever paid attention in their class

When they told you how to treat a patient

They don’t listen to what I’m saying

Plus this old guy is just hating

Im not crazy but this mold on the wall is just damn tasteless

This woman is so ugly and mean I swear she’d be better off being just god damn faceless

Wait till this haldol hits

She’ll be just like a puppy or a kid

Sleeping and drooling and all that ■■■■

Just hope she finds the bed

She found the meds…

The nurse too is in the psych ward

I say to her let me out of here I’m ■■■■■■■ cured

No it’s not the locked walls, it’s just everyone’s energy that is making me so damn bored

Oh my lord!

I got escorted here via the police’s ford

Went through the ER on my tour

Now they’re trying to make me more

Crazy than what I even came here for

The system is broken

Get out and take a cigarette, I’m smoking

Now im back On the internet finding the drugs id been taking

Locked up till i never break the cycle

I am glad things are going uphill for you. I tried tagging you a while back but I couldn’t remember your current username. @CoCo was asking about the ticket to work program and I know you were in that for a bit.

Well I hope yall figured it out but it’s a state by state program I believe. In mine they call it BRS aka bureau of rehabilitation

I was doing Uber eats a lot. But now sober save a ■■■■ ton of money :sweat_smile: still broke as it’s more than half way thru the month and I got lots of expenses. But my parents dont let me starve so that’s always good.

Nice. That’s good. I was diagnosed with asthma which is why I quit smoking cigarettes in 2018 but wasn’t able to quit weed till June 6th 2024. My pulmonologist said I had to quit

Since I haven’t bought anything extracurricular in June I was able to get these

Nothing better to me than new shoes I think :athletic_shoe:
