.....And Swallow

They told me all the help I need is found inside a bottle
Pills aren't happiness rolled into some time released capsule
Just temporary relief for grief that will never go away
....I feel like taking them all at once
Just to show exactly how much they patch up the holes for me
I lost my friends.
I lost myself.
I lost my family.
Can it ever relieve the sorrow?
-I read the side effects.
"Exchange one problem for dozens more."
That's what it should say.
We'll all be sick
We'll all feel like shit
But the depression will sink away
At least....for the remainder of the your conscious state
Grab your glass of milk
And swallow
Wake up feeling the same.
......Same old problem.
Stuck inside a routine pill box that will never change.
Grab your glass of milk
And swallow.
