Hiding behind “medication”

By Kiesha’s DiaryPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

this whole generation,

is on the strongest kind of medication

not talking about the medicine that the doctors prescribe

speaking more along other lines

lines of racking cocaine

because teenagers no longer drink to ease their pain

no more glasses are toasting

the kids are overdosing

the pleasure is only temporarily

but doing drugs is the new mean for therapy

the reasons?

to fight off the demons

drugs to change mentality

drugs to deceive this cold reality

the best kinds of medicines are illegal

addressing from snorting to needles

no one wants to live clean

taking medicine is part of the daily routine

sad poetry
