This Pill

There has to be another way cause I fear staying will only break me quicker I'll snap like a twig therefore I'm consumed by my meds Doctors think i'm crazy Just cause i'm sad A kid is supposed to be happy Atleast that's what they keep telling me my parents lose sleep cause I won't just pretend Their so stuck being normal that they never realized they made me this way So they should stop alienating me Cause genetics is genetics I heard my mom was strung out on weed before she even knew I was developing in her belly Dad was a young Alchoholic yet he doesn't understand why I get thirsty Now i'm not tryna be like them so don't get me wrong It's just that they try to cover it up like they were perfect Cleaned their act up before I was old enough to understand So now I take this pill Doctors claim it will heal me It'll destroy everything that's consuming me Will it make my parents accept me? Will it make them finally take some of the blame? Will it make them tell me they love me? I doubt it.
