The fear is severe
When the unknown’s unclear
Until we gather our gear
Then ****, disappear
Into the night
While traveling light
Solemn; contrite
Ill equipped for the fight
The battle of self
With poor mental health
A monopoly of wealth
For the pills that get dealt
Out of the cupboard
And into our hands
Along with the side effects
And a list of demands
There may be reactions
They’ll come out in waves
Searching out healing
Or what the body most craves
