Call Me

 
Call me
A depressed schizophrenic
With chronic sinusitis
but ..
Call me
 
I am alone in isolation
Trying to care and find it too
In this gas-guzzling nation
Shared in common with you
 
I'm not equipped to drive or to thrive
I'm "lucky"  if I just survive
Living with iatrogenic TBI
Half the time I just want to die
 
Jerked around in cyberspace
Wishing for a saving grace
I must have a change of pace
An escape from this rat-race
 
A tropical haven with a sailboat at anchor
Friends who relate to me without rancor
And maybe after honest affection hanker...
 
Instead I'm sitting on the deck
Of a slowly sinking burning wreck
A gordion knot entangling me
With the anchor
Promising to set me free...
