The Cure
The Cure
By Kevin Robey
October 7, 2013
I took a pill today
Just a single pill to get through the day
It wasnt a dose I needed at all
Take me away from these blank white walls
Dullness makes the present blur
There’s nothing that this pill can cure
Still I drown it with a shot of caffeine
Keep me alive with my hopes and dreams
I felt Ok until the sun went down
Now I can feel the darkness around
My pupils shrink as my hands start to shake
The reality returns for every hour I’m awake
Wide eyed now but my thoughts are grey
So lost right now that I don’t know the way
Whatever the price, my skin is still clean
Wandering to everything I’ve never seen
Don’t tell me this isnt the way to find
Answers I seek while I lose my mind
This is my path, and surely isnt yours
Just another day that left me wanting more
