Pills and Potions
Pills and potions
If only they could solve all the problems
One magic pill to make it all go away
If only it were that easy
Pop them in a cup, a concoction of things you don’t even know
Sip, and swallow, and it’ll all get better
But it doesn’t
It’s a choice between every thought urging you to take that jump, to strangle yourself,
That there’s no place in this world for you
And being too drugged up to even think about it
A mindless droid that purely exists and nothing more
And which is better really?
Is either option better than the other?
In the end, we trust the process and hope
Because hope is the only thing that can truly hold a person together
Without hope, there is nothing
No light
No path
No handle to grasp
