Phillip Head Screw
Your interpretation, poetry only
Phillip Head Screw
I'm screwed in the head,
They said, the light flashed blindly overhead,
Worth nothing more,
The doctor said my state a prescribed horror.
Phillip? I ask, scared for his answer,
You'll be fine he ensures me, just one more mood enhancer,
I can't swallow another, not one more pill,
The doctor named Phillip said I am extremely ill.
I wonder why, my head is so screwed up,
Perhaps when I was young, I had some sort of mental stirrup,
Okay, but reluctant, I'll these ones now,
Wondering of the side effects, and if this I should allow.
I'm screwed in the head,
Impulses to guide me as I mend,
Doctor Phillip I reject your help,
Heal on my own, will I find my truest self.
