Self Medication

One pill
Two pills
Three pills
Four.
I get up and I lock the door.
Five pills
Six pills
Seven pills
Eight.
I feel I'm in a lovely state.
Nine pills
Ten pills
...
I've lost count.
I think I've found the way out,
Eight pills
Seven pills
Six pills
Five.
These babies make me feel alive.
Four pills
Three pills
Two pills
One.
My thoughts start to come undone.
One pill
Two pills
Three pills
