Pills

By: Alisha Perkins

I take a pill when I am ill.

To breathe; I am unable. To stand; I am unstable.

A drug to take away the pain. A drug when I am insane.

Can't heal my heart. Maybe it'll stop me from falling apart

Can't I end it all? Before I fall.

Or have I already let go? I don't even know.

These pills stop me in midair.

They stop me when life is unfair.

I'd rather feel nothing than live bluffing.
