The Doctors

They took me to the doctor,
They said he would be nice,
They told me he would help me
They said hed give advice.
I believed what I was told,
For my mummy never lies,
Instead I should have searched
For the truth hid in her eyes.
I wondered why she got upset
But I never really thought
That maybe I didnt act
In the way that good girls ought.
She was crying when she left me,
I begged for her to stay,
But the doctors wouldnt let her,
They made her go away.
The doctors looked me over,
They prodded at my side,
They did all sorts of tests on me
Till I very nearly cried.
They said if I behaved
And did what I was told,
Then I could have a blanket
Instead of being cold.
After that, if I was good
And ate all thats on my plate,
Then maybe I could watch TV,
Or talk to my best mate.
And if I really tried
And worked with all my might,
Perhaps then would let me
Have a visitor one night.
But eating wasnt easy,
I just couldnt life my fork,
So they wouldnt let me move,
I couldnt even walk.
They put me in a wheel chair,
But still the food was bad,
I couldnt sleep at all
When I counted what Id had.
They wanted me to eat too much,
They watched me growing fat,
I dont supposed they cared though,
Theyre not much good at that.
Finally they released me,
Expecting me to fly,
But like a bird thats wounded,
I fell straight out the sky.
I landed back amongst them,
In the hospitals sterile nest,
They said I needed feeding,
They said I needed rest.
Again they saw me growing,
Tripling in size,
Ballooning to a monster
Right before their eyes.
Strangely though, they liked this,
They thought it made me right,
They never saw the desperation
Cried alone at night.
Once more they tried to free me,
Once more I had a try,
But birds with broken wings
Simply cannot fly.
