Emotional Malpractice
When giving birth,
a mother requests drugs for the pain.
When undergoing surgery,
numbing is required for the patient.
No one can handle the full blast,
the pain is far too unbearable.
Where do I look..
to numb my pain?
I'm amidst emotional surgery.
My heart barely exists anymore.
My soul needs reconstruction.
I'm dealing with the full blast.
Nothing gets numbed.
No one hides the pain from me.
Out there is a girl.
Out there is my girl.
Who is this girl?
Where is she now?
When we meet,
maybe she'll hide my pain
This one is good, and with some honing it might work as a stand-up piece. The title gives you a hook that you don't ever use--the whole concept of "emotional malpractice." I'd like to see a revision of this where you explore that side of it a little more. You've got some real potential here.
great analogy for the emotional. I see you are from Marlboro as am I but Im in Marlboro Mass
