Why don’t they understand me...
Why don’t they hear me when I yell...
All these prescriptions are causing me problems...
I’m living my life in psychiatrist hell...

He never listens when I say I’m tired
Of all the crap they teach at school...
All he does is overdose me...
Face down on my desk in a puddle of drool...

My parents don’t want me around...
They’ll pay any amount to keep me away...
Why don’t they hear me when I yell...
“The meds lead my feelings astray!”

He keeps trying to adjust my dosage...
I simply need my thoughts to cohere...
At what point will this shrink finally get it right...
He’s been adjusting for over a year...

I beg my parents to understand me...
This pill pusher is driving me insane...
Why don’t they hear me when I yell...
“It’s the opioids that are causing my pain!”
