Untitled.


One pill, Two pill, Three pill. Four

All they say is just take more

You'll get better soon they claim

But the question still remains

Do I want this?

To wake every morning, And have the same routine

Bright days with fake moods always showing through

Or painful days blurred and true?

I sit and I think

Sometimes I cant even blink

Lost in space in my own little world

Dark and scary, but no burdens to carry

The idea is great

But for now it will have to wait

For now I'll sit and take another pill

I'll stay still and do as im told

For thats the only way to get out of this hold.
