Her Medicated Majesty

She snorts her Ritalin

she snorts her xanex

she snorts her *******

before she has ***

 

She loves her codeine

and her amphetamines

her world spins so fast

she needs some Dramamine

 

she buys and sells pills,

writes prescriptions

she skips most meals

to feed her addictions

 

light up a cigarette

gulp down a percocet

mix uppers and downers

hoping that they offset

 

she takes bottle after bottle

of pills and alcohol

she just tips it back

and swallows it all

 

a walking pharmacy

a waiting tragedy

a princess of pills

her Medicated Majesty
