The Pills

Written for my friend Brittany Jones. And no, I am not on pills. She suggested I write this for her.

Today,

I crave these pills.

Tomorrow,

I will be stronger to resist them.

These pills are deadly

And I could soon enough go with them.

It's not a minute I go

Without thinking about them.

For they are there

To help me escape my emotions

And the cruel world around me.

They have helped me in times of darkness

But I must bulk up and learn to reject them.'

Teach me to say no.

That's all I need.

If I don't stop,

They will soon take the best of me.

And I will disappear just like I wanted to

Before the craving took place.

Prescription drugs are what precipitated the death of my sister. I do hope your friend gets the help she needs. This was very good, the topic being what it is.

Perfect representation of an addiction... could use more driving need (PERSONALLY), but it is very accurate and very good. I like the asking for help. Wanting to be taught to say no. It's very true for those who finally accept that they need help. I have someone I love very much who is consumed in addiction right now and I pray everyday that she comes out of it and finally asks for help.

I liked this. I would totally recommend my friend read this. She is addicted to pills. She is on painkillers all the time. Thanks for sharing. :)
