prescription refill
medication isn't always bad
Going to your box filled with drugs
A doctors playground your health
It screams
Pushing to the side the others that you’ve already taken
Grabbing the bottle that you desperately need
Only to find out that it’s empty
Nothing but air and flakes of medication lines the bottom
Panic ensues
You can’t function without this drug
This prescription
Your well being
Pick up your phone and dial the necessary number to get your noose
I’m sorry your cop out
I mean your excuse
Wait no they call it your medication
Phone ringing
And the same old holding line begins
A song you know so well
The song of your health rings over the phone
The recorded line asks you questions
As if it really cares
You punch the numbers that match your bottle
Now you have to wait an hour to get it
When you get to take it it’ll be to late
The confine that you swallow won’t kick in until it’s to late
Until your fit is over
No your unnecessary emotions
Fuck my bad I mean your inability to function
It shows through the gaps of the information on the bottle
You go to your box filled with drugs
A doctors playground your health
I scream
But you can’t hear it
Because my medication finally kicked in
