The Pill.

Words on the the walls of a subway train

Safe from weather, safe from rain

Locked inside, no need to hide

Anonymous thoughts from a sullen mind

Anonymous feelings from a girl that’s a freak

Anonymous heart of a man who’s meek

Anonymous cries from a mother who grieves

Anonymous scribbles from a boy who can’t even read

Void of context, and missing a name

What’s written here has not been tamed

An open book with pages never to fill

Clandestine catharsis, the panacea pill
