BITTER PILL

 

It is pride that comes before my falls

When I’m in the room with padded walls

I can concur without any hesitation

Pride stopped me taking my medication

 

In a canvas coat with straps of leather

And buckles of steel in which to tether

To restrain safely the nurse believes

To put arms in the wrap around sleeves

 

So sat in my padded room rocking gently

In a state of calm reflection incidentally

And the subject of my quiet reflection

Pride stopping me taking my medication
