I undo everythingMature
I undo everything
I guess you can imagine,
The panic and chaos,
That this desire of mine,
Once expressed caused.
I suppose now, years later,
I can understand why,
Yet at the time, I truly believed,
That my suggestion was best.
Ironic really wouldn't you say?
I mean my dad just like me,
Believes in life after death,
So why would dad have a problem,
With my leaving earlier than planned?
However, yes, I am glad,
That I didn't act on it,
Though I inevitably lost forever,
The will to live, the drive to live,
Even now, as regards my own life,
I am indifferent I guess.
I no longer care,
Whether I live until old age,
Or whether I die tomorrow.
A doctor's appointment,
That very day was made,
Where the doctor scared me,
By asking if I heard voices,
And told my mom and dad,
To keep from me all sharp objects.
Before mom,
I could hardly tell the truth,
My dad and stepfamily,
I never would betray.
The doctor's interference,
Did I deeply resent,
How would riding a horse,
Or keeping a tortoise help?
My dad's words,
That he doctor, he was,
Monitoring my mental health,
Even now do I recall.
I knew I nedeed to act fast,
Especially with mom and dad,
Paranoid that I would from them be taken,
One day I went in,
Looking my GP in the eye,
I purposely lied.
I retracted what I said,
Just as I did with Semanti,
Pretending I had been mistaken,
Saying what he wanted to hear,
What made it even worse,
Was, that he claimed,
He knew all along I wasn't depressed.
