Pills Poem by Michelle Wooldridge

Tears running down my face
Scared of who I am
I was given a second chance
I’m worried I'm slipping up again
Tempted to reach for the pills
I fight the temptation
Worried I’m unfixable

I beat it once
Do I have the strength to do it again
My loved ones are running away scared
I’m all alone
Once again

I have my weak points
This is one
Someone needs to keep the pills away
Maybe I need to go somewhere
I’m neglected

No one will notice
I’m just a pain
No one will ‘‘ worry ‘’ anymore
That’s if they do

I’m too far gone
I’m gone now
I’ve slipped away
No one was there to catch me
This is my good-bye

The pain is fading
The pain will be gone forever soon
The empty pill bottles laying beside me
Getting dizzy by the second
Slurring my words

It’s almost done
The pain is almost gone
Someone walks in
They just watch as I fade
I cry out in agony

My best friend sits there
Watch’s me die
I am now gone
I no longer exist
I’m laying there motionless
