Antidepressant

I take drugs to fall asleep

I take drugs so I don’t weep

I take drugs so I can keep

on an even keel 

I take drugs to numb what’s real

I take drugs so I don’t feel

I take drugs to dull the pain

I take drugs instead of

electroshock to the brain

I take drugs because I can’t stop

I take drugs because I can’t taper off

I take drugs so I don’t cry

I take drugs so I don’t die
