Medicine

Another night

the same pattern of thoughts

running through my mind.

Why can't I control

what I think about?

It's as if my mind

has a mind of it's own.

Now it's about medicine

the medicine that I take regularly.

Its really not the best

but it'll have to do.

I wish I could actually be happy

and not need medicine for it

but that's not how the world works.

The world is not a happy place

and there are a lot of users

using this medicine.

Us users, we can stop anytime

but we choose not to

because of the way it makes us feel,

because it's the only thing that helps.

I wish I had something else,

something special in my life

so that it can make me happy,

not only my medicine.

It's pointless to try to find

something special in this world

because anytime something special does come along

it is always gone before it can bring any real joy

and then your fucked

because you have attached yourself

to this special something

and even though it's already gone

you still long for it, still need it

you think your going to die without it.

But that's just the world fucking with you

so let's fuck it back

and give it what it deserves.

Destroy it, burn it, break all the rules

let's do whatever the fuck we want

and not care about if it's not allowed

because we have nothing more to lose.
