Poem: The doctor comes with an empty syringe…
But I don’t care I will not cringe

Use the thickest needle I like it best…
Hiding my smile is the real test

So enter…

My vein, my pain, I’ve gone insane, Pierce my skin to test my brain

My vein, my pain, I’ve gone insane, I smile as my fluids begin to drain

My life, my strife, hand me the knife, misery’s my wedded wife

My life, my strife, hand me the knife, I want to carve this pumpkin HAND ME THE KNIFE!

There’s enough string behind my door, to hold my feet off the floor
So goodbye ward 24, Tonight my heart will beat no more

“All patents in ward 24, check in your drawstrings”
