Analysis of Pill 1
Everyone here is faulty
Temporarily, forever, for today
Faulty in their heads and hands
Some have canes to walk
Some like me have Prozac
Green and black plastic tasteless
Orange juice to wash it down
the hair I pulled out
Hopefully will grow back
No new scars on thighs
No new scars on hands
Aware that it’s no cure
But subside my pain to pain myself
Pill 1 could numb a boiling brain
Still wonder if it’s the placebo effect
Will Pill 1 be my last?
Should I take a chance?
