i swallowed a pill today. a happy pill, the others said. i felt no joy, only my pain. so i took two the next day. still no change,  they said it could take a few days. so i took another pill today. and i feel like it's stuck in my throat

pill-bottle
my eyes are drenched with the oceans tears, vast and never ending. my throat is choked in a bile of desperate words that want to be free. my wrists burning in this warming sensation, that I want to cut out. my lungs filled with the reminiscing smoke that was your words, laughter and smile. It's given me cancer. The cigarette **** that I kept consuming even though everyone told me to quit. I tired too, I'm still trying but then I keep crawling back to this needle and inject my veins with a distraction. I feel warm, and I'm breathing normally, but then it settles in, I'm empty, needing to calm myself down with the sound of your voice that I can't hear.

Nicotine.
Dining on copious amounts of serotonin Dopamine fiend I get called a terrible teen Lack of melotonin Sleepless dreams Of seizing opportunities But I don't participate in life; truancy I guess I'm nothing more than another one of heroin's machines
