Sing For Effexor


If I act depressed, will I get some?

Must I be more depressed the next time I come?

Must I be at death’s door?

Must I be laying inert on the floor?

Must I weep and must I moan?

Must my entire body groan?

Must I sleep all day and do little else besides?

Must I throw up to prove it’s effecting my insides?

Must I have fights in my relationships?

Must I be eating little but chips?

Must I be moaning I want to die?

Must I make a suicide try?

I need these pills. I need them now.

I want to get them, but don’t know how.

I’m functioning normally but get depressed

and also very very stressed.

My house is clean and my kids are fed

but really, all I want to do is go to bed.

I can’t stand the horrible thoughts in my head.

And the rest of me feels heavy as lead.

I have no motivation. I just force myself.

I have to put my laziness on the shelf.

But really, I don’t enjoy my life.

I want to end it, maybe with a knife.

But that’s too painful. Maybe one of the rifles.

I feel guilty because my problems are just trifles.

Wow, look at me. I’m contemplating dying.

Now my doctor will hopefully not think I’m lying.

You might need a new one. We all do sometimes.

To everyone in the world, myself included sometimes: If dehumanizing anyone is part of your religion, you need a new religion. If dehumanizing others is part of your job, then you need a new job. If dehumanizing people was part of your education, then you need a new education. If dehumanizing you is how your family bonds, then you need a new family. If dehumanizing you brings your friends closer together, then you need new friends. If dehumanizing someone is a release for you, then you need a new release. If dehumanizing anyone is a pastime for you, then you need a new pastime. If dehumanizing anyone at all, any sentient being, or everyone, or a few, or certain types, even sometimes, is your lifestyle, then you need a new lifestyle. I would never tell you WHAT lifestyle to have, just pick any one that doesn't involve or include or encourage dehumanization of anyone!

Roses Are Red, revised (had a lot of mistakes before)

By
Roberta's voicemail to Elton: Today's protest rally Roses are red, bear spray is for bears, the human you sprayed suffered retinal tears. If you need to defend yourself order some mace. If I see more bear spray I will cut up your face. Elton to Roberta: Moron. Roses are red, You're not as smart as you think. If you don't watch your mouth, you'll end up in the clink. I happen to know several cops and a judge. If you don't show respect I will beat you to sludge. Roberta to Elton: Hypocrite. Roses are red, You threatened me too. If today I'm arrested, tomorrow it's you. I have talked to your friends and I know you are bluffing. Leave me alone or I'll rip out your stuffing. Elton to Roberta: Cease and desist. Roses are red, Jail is boring. There isn't good food or even adequate flooring. If you don't stop now I will call the police. I will get your ass charged with disturbing my peace. Roberta to Elton: Protect yourself. Roses are red and I happe...

I'm back with a brand new rant about an old AND new issue.

By
The issue is this:  Don't ever call me passive and then expect to remain on good terms with me. "Passive" is not a neutral statement. "Passive" means stupid. "Passive" means incapable. "Passive" means lazy. "Passive" means confused, which basically in this case also means stupid. "Passive" means cowardly. "Passive" means not all there or vegetative. "Passive" can also mean boring, but that's the least of our worries given the other things it means. It is not a neutral term. Use it if you want; I'm not the speech or thought police. But using it on me will cost our friendship. Because just like I can't and would never force you to speak a certain way, you can't ad shouldn't want to force me to take demeaning, degrading treatment. "Passive" is the assumption that I don't have good reasons for being quiet or civil, or that I shouldn't be allowed to choose for myself whe...
