Sedation
Thoughts haunt with no way to make them stop,
1 pill, 2 pills, 3 pills, 4.
The only way to ease the pain is to sedate,
5 pills, 6 pills, 7 pills, then 3 more.
If its not one thing its another,
1 slice, 2 slice, 3 slice, 4.
One failure after another never ending,
5 slice, 6 slice, 7 slice, then 3 more.
Can never get ahead of it,
1 burn, 2 burns, 3 burns, 4.
For it’s a tormenting cycle,
5 burns, 6 burns, 7 burns, then 3 more.
Just want to be sane again,
1 gasp, 2 gasps, 3 gasps, 4.
I wish I could start over,
5 gasps, 6 gasps, 7 gasps, till there's no more.
