5150

   
I want hard edged & raw    
I can't have it    
my weapon of choice    
taken from me    
   
for being dangerous    
to self & others    
5150 ink    
hell yeah that's my way    
   
cut into others    
cos I'm insane    
   
I want to go to that dark place    
but i'm stuck in a padded room    
with Barry Manilow playing on the radio    
   
plastic feelings, plastic words    
not sharp enough to cut jello    
it's a Xanax nightmare    
   
can't shake this straight jacket    
or slip the mental ward guards    
these psych meds    
have me on lock down    
   
it's a terrible feeling    
when even your poetry    
can't give you escape
