take pills when angry

take pills when angry

A Poem by Jay Bailey
"

slurred speech

"
medication numb
and faithless
bitter to the core from experience and living it
drag the knife from the wrist to the elbow
i swear i don't feel a thing
i burn the wound closed
but bits of flesh keep breaking open
i laugh at the looks i get
annoyed at the plasma and puss that keeps running like a dripping faucet
give me an hour to get myself together
