Chill Pill

Do We Need It? Knowing the side affects?

Silence is hard to achieve when your mind is overthinking

Is it time to chill with my homies?

Looking at social media gets me overwhelmed

Enter the world of solitude to chase the overwhelming feelings away

No one wants to take a chill pill, what are the side affects? Memory lost

“Cut my memory away”, you say!!!!

Expose the dark side of a chill pill
