A pill

Struggle with addiction: what it feels like

A Pill

 

A pill to kill the loneliness

Another for the pain

A pill to send you straight to sleep

And one to rise again

 

A pill to help remember

Another to forget

A pill to kill your worries

So you never have to fret

 

A pill to keep you lying

A pill to help you thrive

A pill that strangles you inside

Although you're still alive

Reviews

[J. Alfred Prufrock]

this is a very strong and emotive read. the reader gets a very compelling sense of the inner life of the narrator, of that moment in time, and the emotional angst and turmoil. well done.
