When the pills dissolve
When full of resolve
When the sun is out
And I’m feeling stout
The future looks bright
Everything’s right
Hold on, correction
Until dissection
I pick it apart
Wait, where do I start
So much is a mess
Now I must confess
I’m a fake, a fraud
It’s not real, façade
The meds lost effect
This I can correct
Pop this pill I think
Chase it with this drink
Maybe do a line
Wait… there… just in time
In control again
Guess I needed gin
Maybe it’s the pill
That got me over hill
Cause I’m feeling high
World, deny me nigh
The sun is setting
This is unsettling
The dark is eerie
No stars to steer me
Line, drink, pill, inject
Fear, hate intersect
Despair, emptiness
Anger, envious
Why are they normal?
Why am I mournful?
Inject, pill, drink, line
One more to feel fine
Wait, where is my life?
Long lost, in the strife
Friends and family?
Must’ve lost faith in me.
No job or career.
One more line and beer.
I will stop, I swear
This is it, I care
There’s desolation
My revelation
One more and I’m done
I’ll watch, setting sun
Full dark has fallen
EMS calling
My name, but I’m gone
It’s time to move on
As life was dark, bad
It’s dark in this bag
Epilogue:
There’s never enough
You have to be tough
Stopping now, today
Is the only, ONLY, way.
