No Name


My heart felt colder than ice and it was blacker than coal. So I opened the bottle of these green little pills one by one I take them to escape the painful reality of what this monsterous women did to me. The first few took the edge off my mind that was going a mile a minute but the thought of death continued to linger in my mind so two four six eight and ten more of those little green round pills were swallowed. I started floating I felt like the nightmare of my life of that time would be erased with these green beauties but it wasn't enough to escape the pain so another handful went down. Still not what I wanted i wasn't fully away from the grim reality of life for me I popped until there was nothing left.. Then blackness waking up tubes all in me in the icu unit at the city hospital. So it seems when your heart is rotting from the inside you'll do anything to escape that pain.. So I go on living life for what it is knowing those round green little pills only let you escape reality for a short while... A.G. 2018
