In Need Of Something Poem by Ray Hansell

In Need Of Something



I have real bad behavior
I keep looking for a savior
I'm filled with hostility
I long for some tranquility
My life is an agitation
I'm always seeking salvation
Most times I am so depressed
Myself I always second guess
Sometimes I'm suicidal
I feel that I'm entitled

Mood swings and changes
My mind rearranges
It seems the pills I take
Just don't keep me awake
Maybe it's better that I sleep
Then my sanity I'll keep
I really wish I had a clue
So then I'd know what to do
People drag me down
I end up on the ground
Can somebody help me stand
Because I don't think I can
Stand here on my own two feet
Because you see I'm mentally beat

I need to just get some rest
I just can't pass this test
That life just throws at me
Can't anybody see
I don't want to be here
Can I be any clear
My eyes are getting drowsy
This life I live is lousy
I don't want no more pain
I want to end this game
I declare life the winner
Mark me down as the sinner
Tell the world I tried my best
Now it's time to get some rest

I think I'll take all my pills
So I can feel all those thrills
I'll just lay down right here
Wait for the angels to come near
To carry me back to home
To a peaceful life I've never known
But please when I am gone
Everyone please carry on
Don't you stop to weep for me
Let everything just be
As it was before
I already knew the score
So live your life to the end
Don't let doctor's try to send
You to places you don't want to go
To them and their pills tell them no
No more pills will I take
I hope tomorrow I don't wake
