prescription
calm me down
make it okay
if i stay
lay me down
and do your best
to tame me
i am not ashamed
of who i am
and what i need
greed is only evil
if it's about money
and power
we cower behind
puritannical pretenses
build fences to keep
the wildness
at bay
but i know the way
and i want to show you
how to get there
grab
my
hair
and
say
the
words...
