Medication
I wake up in the morning
I yawn and rub my eyes
I stretch my body slowly
As I begin to rise
Straight into the kitchen
I make a cup of tea
Then I sort my tablets out
And look what's on TV
I sit my body slowly
I light a cigarette
My body's aching badly
Soaking wet with sweat
Then my eyes start closing
Cause the Meds are kicking in
I want to stay awake today
But morphine's gonna win
Dinner time has come around
I have to go to bed
Cause I can't stay awake no more
I'm holding up my head
I won't wake up till teatime
When the day has gone
Then take more medication
Wishing I had none
I'll stay awake till 8ish
Then tablets once again
It's such a vicious circle
And it's driving me insane
So now I've missed a complete day
Lay flat out in my bed
With this routine I have to do
I might as well be dead.
