Title: Fix Itself

Additional Challenge: A compliment

Lyrics:

I said "I dunno, doc" as I sat up on the table

my shirt off, thankful just my socks around my ankles

I've had no luck with proper diagnosis

my internet doctor just sent some shrug emojis

and so she jots down a note, this'll do the trick

get back to your old self quick

But I'm stubborn and a skeptic

but this doctor won't accept it

She says "Take This and Call me in the morning"

so I shake it and I say I can't afford it

but she insists and writes me a prescription

so I throw it in the cabinet with the other dozen pills

that I've ignored and sorta hope that it'll magically fix itself

now its been 6 months so I come in for a check-up

She asks about my regimen and so I have to fess up

The bottle is still intact

and my motivation's weaker than a childproof cap

This calls for a higher dose, you're so easy to diagnose

You're just stubborn and a skeptic

and this doctor won't accept it

Take This and Call me in the morning

I make a play to ask about the side-effects and warnings

she evades this and writes me a prescription

and walks me to the pharmacy and watches as I pay and leave

and wonders if I still believe that this'll all fix itself

So I'm standing in the bathroom, bottle on the windowsill

hyping up myself 'cause I've never liked taking pills

I pop the top and to my surprise

there's nothing but a note inside

It says: Take this, and call me in the morning

I love you and you're handsome and important

and I want you to feel like you're accepted

so I wrote you my love as a prescription

So I take it, and call you i
