Strange Conversations

There is a dragon at the end of the road
And he threatens and he goads
And I want to stop taking the pills
Because they make me feel ill
And tired and grey and heavy and thin
And they only separate me from him
But every time I do
I face a backlash from you
As your tail curls round to see
What whip it can get at me
And I find myself back in the arms of thieves
Because some part of me believes
That I am a danger to myself
So I ask them about mental health
And they consign me to a locked ward
And I am so bored
With all the women I have to escape
And find Superman’s cape
Tied around a male nurse
And I don’t have to rehearse
The joy
When that boy
Looks me dead in the face
And says it does not go to waste
His name was Emmet and there was a gap
Some kind of terrain I could not map
As he came into my room
Where I had been curled up in a ball of doom
Just anticipating
The TV station
They would play tonight
But you stumble and I laugh but it’s alright
And you fall into the chair
By my bed and your hair
Matches your beard
And I’ve always been weird
But you don’t seem to care
Even though I am in there
And you’re on the other side of the glass
I see you ponder and it’s fuckin’ class
You look up towards the sky
And I wonder if you’ll ever die
Because that kind of eternal is forever
And I found a place that would never
Ever let me go
There was a lion on my notebook I coloured in so
They would know
That a whip and a chair
Is not enough to get me to cut my hair
