With the pills I was beaming. I was shining. Still in pain But I knew how to cope. Without the pills I am crashing. I am overcome with darkness. So much pain No way to forget it. Where I smiled, now I snarl. Where I laughed, now I weep. The boom of confidence Now replaced by a hiss of doubt. The once hushed voice Back to remind me of the violence. How can I get back? How can I be okay alone? I'm too afraid to think about it. Too afraid I won't save myself.

Where I smiled, now I snarl. Where I laughed, now I weep. The boom of confidence Now replaced by a hiss of doubt. The once hushed voice Back to remind me of the violence. How can I get back? How can I be okay alone? I'm too afraid to think about it. Too afraid I won't save myself.
