Poetry Book: Songs from the Heart [COMPLETED]

pills

Always taking pills
They say that it can kill
Your joy, your mind,
Your heart, your life

But I have no other choice
It's that or die, so no true choice
But take more pills and
Keep feeling the chills
The symptoms never go away
They only fade
But when it's the darkest,
Surrounded by pain
I like to think of myself as changed

Pills are my life,
My source of strife
But I have no choice, I must keep going
There is nothing I'd rather do
Than stop taking them
But I have no voice
In whether I have a choice

So I take some more pills
And I grin and I bear it
Even though I don't want to
I can't stand it

But even though I am always in pain
I try to remind myself that I'm still the same
I'm still the same old me
Just locked behind some sweet miseries
And when I search my memories
I cannot remember a time when
Pills weren't part of my life

So even though I hate them
Even though I loathe them
I must keep on taking the damn things
But I don't know what to think
'Cause even though I know
They keep me alive
It's hard to shove them down my throat
Night after night
