Oh Sweet Mad Mind
Oh sweet mad mind, we hope you're doing better. How are you today? We're here if you need us. Have you taken your pills? Maybe you need a different one. Have you exercised or gone out today? Maybe you need to do more. Have you written or done anything? Maybe you should take a break.
We know you're upset, and yes it's because of us. We push you hard or away. We can have you join all of us or get things together, one day. You're important, you are loved, even if we just say.
Are we really your friends? Do we really like you? Or we just want you for you. Not the you you but the image you made up and the work you do. We need you, or we just want you for your support. Don't worry, we'll come when you need it, though we don't know how. Yes sometimes its weeks, or months since we talked but we still care. We've been busy, socialising with others, don't worry, you're still in our minds.
You miss the army? So you flirt with the wrongs to compensate for not feeling like a man. You think we're cool and want to be like us? Or try to interact but we still don't really care? Yes we like you, or tolerate you. Maybe sometimes you should give us some space.
You feel sad, and alone. Unsure of what is real? Some of us know, some of us help. We try and try but it keeps happening. We know it's tiring, we know you're done.
Oh sweet mad mind, what a mind you are.
