You can't find something to fill the void.
You can't fix your brain without hurting it.
You can't be happy,
Without the pills.
You don't want to admit it,
But you're addicted.
You don't want to reach out.
You know that they will tell.
You think you have no one.
No one except for the Advil.
No one except for the pills you swallow.
They tare you up,
But you don't care.
You no longer care whether you live or die.
You don't care about what happens to you.
You just want to feel something other than pain.
