Why?
Because one little tablet,
something so small,
it could fall down the drain...
-clink-
through your fingers,
puposefully or not,
changing not one,
but soo many,
lives.
Dad says to mom, I need a ride to the pharmacy
The car is too hot, maybe we should walk.
I’m left to watch my brothers and sisters discuss
teenage melancholy rumors and cigarettes.
That runway that I walk down? I own it,
With my lab coat and my ibuprofen
Because I walk for a living I must have a whit of wit?
I’m making explosions in the lab while I suffer from an implosion,
In April 2009, you left this world
to me. And at the time, I didn't know
who I wanted
to be. The sadness crept up my leg,
a snake, threatening to swallow
me whole.
It was morphine
We demand.We expect. We desire.
We want to strive. We want to live.
We abuse. We forget. We ignore.
Many suffer for us. We tend to forget them.
We need to stop. We need to help.
