I remember the way the pills sat in my stomach
Stuck in my throat
And forced their way back upI remember sleeping
And knowing when I was sleeping
But couldn't move
I remember hearing
Whilst sleepingWhich I can't normally do
And I would hear them talking at dinner time
But whenever I woke up
It felt like it was just thenLike if I could walk
They would all be there eatingHowever whenever I woke up
Whenever I got up
Whenever I saw the time
It was never right
And
They were never there
They carried on with their own lives
Didn't see what was going on
Couldn't see what was missing
Or that I had taken it
It took til day 3
For my mum to believe I was sickMaybe she found the empty packets
Maybe she saw me passed out
Or smelled the vomitThat I tried so hard to clean up
I don't know
But she would've seen that I was never up for long
Abd that I couldn't move fast or coordinatedly
But day 3 she sat by my bedside when I woke up
Something she's never done before
And she gave me some of that electrolyte medicine
Told me to drink
And rest
Before she left me
In the bed of my own making
But I'll never forget that first acknowledgment
Fucking never
I never pulled that shit again
But I still feel the after effects
Again
And
Again
And
AgainI never want to do it again
But sometimes I just feel like
If given the time
Space
Or opportunityIt just might happen again
Maybe if you catch me on an off day
Because
That's all it really started with
