Overdose Serenity

Title doesn't appear in the poem.

Force it to your lips, poisoned water for you to drink

Just for extra measure, a bottle of pills from the Shrink

Take one too many, so you know you won't go on

Then stumble out, trip about, and fall to the lawn

Green grass and dirt, such a wonderful taste

But mixed with formaldehyde and 'happy' pills, it's more like paste

I know I'll slip away, there's nothing to stop it

This was meant to happen, at life I quit

Popped into my mouth, one by one almost like candy

Pills that make me feel great, all fine and dandy

Wasn't that the point, to make me soar high?

And why shouldn't I give up, why should I try?

Higher than I was supposed to go, now my wings are clipped

I'm not allowed to be free, so now poison dripped

Straight into my system, intoxicating by every second

Eyes quietly shutting, I know now what's beckoned

The world is now dark, a midnight-filled place

One where you cannot see the light, the brightness is a disgrace

And lastly now as I close my eyes, slowly drifting off to this place

Know that finally peace has done well, filled my paled face

Author's Note

Isn't it nice to see an actual poem from me?
