I place pill after pill on my tongue And swallow them one by one. They leave a bitter taste But all I can think of is how I am a waste To society and I feel like giving up. An hour later, my body feels heavier It starts to numb the pain. I become clumsier And life just feels like a game I am losing. The high lasts a few hours But the pain lasts a lifetime.
