Dear Cody,

I'm sick

Not going to school today

It's a good thing too

I didn't want to go

I would've broken down probably

It's gotten that bad

And I've been having withdrawal headaches

I'm changing my medicine so that's why

From Zoloft to Prozac

Both medicines are notorious

Notorious for being abused

I can see why

They make you feel better

A lot better

But I don't take more than I'm supposed to

I think it's because I don't want to get hooked

I really just want to live

To live without medication

I also have to take a mood stabilizer

I can't control my mood well

I guess I have problems

Knew it since third grade

Now I'm almost a Sophomore

One more month until summer

Then I will be

I still haven't gotten my permit

You never got the chance to drive

I could've driven you to school

We lived so close to each other

But you didn't stick around to find out

You left

And I've been thinking about leaving too

I really wanted to leave

So much has been happening

It's so overwhelming

I want to see you again Cody

But I can't leave

It's not my time yet
