Pill after pill
catching in her throat
"They're there, you know,
to help you regain hope."
Though the darkness grew
despite her pleas
The demons didn't care
what she thought she could be
They stripped her of her identity
and her drive for life
She soon became her own enemy
no longer wanting to be just or right
The goal setting in her mind became stronger
concreting itself into her heart and mind
Though it seemed far off at first
it became apparent that it was only a matter of time
Her breathing became shallow
her voice growing hoarse
cracked, reptilian skin showed the battle
She no longer cared of the source
The parasite that crept into her mind
blacked out all of the thoughts
ensuring that she will never shine
only doing its waltz
Here we go again
pill after pill once more
Though this time it isn't for hope
but another way to the core
With the thoughts ripping her apart
she frantically searches for something sharp
to end the torment
But once again she is left with nothing
but the pill after pill
"to regain hope"
