candy

my favorite candy is blue and red

it doesn't have a sweet taste, and keeping it on my tongue for too long makes it bitter

but it's my favorite candy

except

it's not really candy

but i swallow handfuls like they're m&ms

i swallow until the bottle is gone and i'm lying on my bed, tugging at the bed sheets and screaming into my pillow from pain.

funny, it's supposed to take away my pain

yet it brings me the most from one or two gulps

it's not candy

they're pills
