Let Me Be

Let me be

I am me

Just sit down, take this pill, it's been a shocking day, I’ve had my fill

Why do you crazies keep coming here

You block the system. You waste our time.

Take the pill or do you refuse. We have other methods we can use

Please hide me from the demons

Can’t you see them there?

They say I don’t matter. They say no one will care

I have no place in this world

Don’t yell at me. I’m afraid

I’m scared I’ll wake in someone else’s grave.

I’ve got no time. I can’t help if you are out of your mind

I don’t understand

Why are you so cross?

I’m confused, I’m scared, I’m lost

I’m not trying to be bad but those pills make me feel so sick. They make me confused, 

Make me feel so sad

I can not think

Oh come on now they’ll make you sleep

What the —-- don’t start to pretend to weep

Please don’t make me that that pill

They make me sick. They make me ill

Have you finished, are you free?

I wonder if you would like to chat with me

She’s being difficult, she’s being a pain

Take it easy. You’ll be safe. Have a seat. Rest your feet

It’s okay, if you settle down I’ll put these shackles on the ground

I know you’re scarred, I know you’re afraid but give me time, let us try things another way
