Trapped
They tried to medicate her life
Said that she would be alright
Handed her a bottle of pills
All ready with ten refills
"Don't worry, you'll be okay"
Is the only thing that they could say
She takes the pills but then she finds
In her own body, she is confined
She realizes she can no longer dream
And when she's alone, she still wants to scream
All they do is make her feel numb
She's terrified of what she'll become
They make her sick but still she tries
Because being sick is better than wanting to die
They put a smile on her face, but she knows it's all fake
How much more could she possibly take?
She lays down, lays very still
And wonders, " will I ever be happy without these pills?"
