The Diary of Methandria

Pop one in, reject the pain.
Concentrate harder!
Darling, don't go insane.
Sit alone on your bed, staring at the wall.
It took hours just to realize where you are.
Hold it in then scream it out, no one cares without a doubt.
Mutilation at it's best. Life is just a little test.

But what happens when you get a chance?
The real once in a lifetime chance?
Will you recognize yourself?
Will you have already turned yourself into something else?
Life's slowly fading away, it's getting harder and harder each day.

The days pass, but you look at life through an hourglass.
Why don't you help yourself? Why don't you save your own life?
"Just one more pill, then I won't think twice."
But one turns to two, and two to four.
Then slowly you're forgetting things you knew so well before..

I wrote this years back, when I will openly admit now, that I had a problem with abusing prescription medications. This.. at the time, I thought was just a poem I came up with, written to a fictional character. However, looking at it now, I realize I was writing to myself.
