The voices in my mind are screaming too loudly,
I can't bear to hear the thoughts anymore.
I'm desperate for anyway to shut them out forevermore.
And in my desperation, the bottle calls to me, promising happiness at its bottom.

Erratic and overwhelming emotions crash against the dam I put up in my mind,
Threatening to break the fragile walls in place.
I'm not strong enough to keep them all at bay,
So I turned to the needle, to numb it all away.

I don't feel so good anymore, my mind is eating away at me.
The layers of negativity are building up nonstop.
"Am I good enough?", "Am I worth it?" and "What am I doing here?" keep popping up.
I need the tiny superheroes in the pill bottles to save me from myself.

Too many problems with myself to deal with right now,
I need to Medicate to hold all of them back.
I know that it's hurting me, and killing me softly, but...
I humbly ask this Medicine to take all the pain, anxiety and depression away.
