Drowned, Busted, and Fallen

Drowned, Busted, and Fallen

I visited a place where I thought I would fit in.
I didn't.

I rolled with the flow and drowned.
I hobnobbed with the biggies and got busted.
I soared with the eagles and fell.

The doctor with the money maligned me.
The nurse with the power abused me.
The counselor with the education seduced me.

We are the caring, and often the wise and,
when guided gently, we glow, love, and share openly.

But watch out, the system's still in place!
The 'Hierarchy' still exists, and it's bloodthirsty.

One must learn the Doctor's ways and shift to his will.
One mustn't learn the Nurse's parentage or be ready for the kill.
One must learn the counselor's jealousy and have a hard hard heart.

I'm SMI and, with my peers, we cut, we shoot,
we pop, we drink....... and we die.
But I'd rather be in the presence of my peers....
for they hurt as much as I, while the others only profit from the lie.
