Why did you need to take that pill? |
|
never has and never will |
|
make you better make you well |
|
you're shackled in your self-inflicted cell |
|
sunlight you'll never see |
|
you're a prisoner of pharmacology |
|
and you're telling me you feel fine |
|
never better |
|
that's what you said in your last letter |
|
that was read aloud at your memorial last week |
|
where are you now? |
|
Up above? |
|
I hope you find some kind of love |
|
that isn't bottled or tamper-resistant |
|
but unconditional and consistent |
|
the peace you've spent you lifetime searching for |
|
if this is what it takes |
|
maybe others can learn form your mistakes |
|
and turn off that blacklight before it gets too late |
