Sick
I see you staring at me
The clear statement in your eyes:
"You're sick, you're sick"
Words unsaid, but deeply meant.
And then the winning question:
"Have you taken your pills yet?"
Suspended there
Like you have the right to ask.
As if
that
is the reason
We keep having these issues,
These creeping doubts,
In our claustrophobic lives.
Because I've taken my pills.
Swallowed them like tasty sweets
Always hoping
That they'd get caught in my throat.
No,
it
isn't the issue,
They always do their duty.
It's time to face
That
we
are the **** problem.
