Replying to D.A.R.E.

Prescribe me

And I could bear it, too

I want a pill

To flush my veins

So numbness can consume

I want a drug

A sweet relief

To lift me up

From unknown grief

I’d rather run

Gouge out my eyes

Turn from all love

Fall from a sky

I am a flake

So melt me down

I breathe a flame

To burn my crown

Society, you’re weak

You drug the bright

‘stead help them on

But you won’t hear them speak

Them is you

You are them

They follow

A mindless pen

Prescribe me

So I can bear it, too

I live in dark

Wake to a day

I need a spark

So I can spite

So I can see

My misery

But ‘stead of care

 I laugh at me

Swallow me, you fool

This word This line

Drown in this pool

Swallow me, you know

With blurs of mine

Define your line

Prescribe a pill

To dash away

All hope and care

For later day

Say no to now

Just was Just will

For if there is

Alone I’ll fail

Prescribe me

So I can find my friends

They’re in my head

But hide away

So they don’t have

To live this way

A capsule, please

So I can kill

Myself

My love

Make time stop still

I need to sleep

To eat

To drink

To see

To feel

To taste

To love

To hate

To care

To live

To die

Prescription, please

A pharmacy

Utopia

Penitentiary

There is this mold

I’d like to fit

I see others

Yet can’t reflect

So many of

Those just like me

Have lost their personality

By hand of

A prescription

Drug me, company

And this diction

Experiment on me

See if the pill

Confines or frees

Bend my mind

Until it snaps

So you can say

A dose would do

Do me good

Don’t do me off

Lend a hand

You heartless freaks

You are normal

But, no, not me
