Medication Poem by Donna Saphier

Medication

Rating: 4.0


I wake up early in the morning
I yawn and rub my eyes
I stretch my body slowly
As I begin to rise
Straight into the kitchen
I make a cup of tea
Then I sort my tablets out
And look what's on TV
I sit my body slowly
I light a cigarette
My body's aching badly
Soaking wet with sweat
Then my eyes start closing
Cause the meds are kicking in
I want to stay awake today
But morphine's gonna win
Dinner time has come around
I hsve to go to bed
Cause I can't stay awake no more
I'm holding up my head
I won't wake up till tea time
When the day has gone
Then take more medication
Wishing I had none
I'll stay awake till 8ish
Then tablets once again
It's such a vicious circle
And it's driving me insane
So now I've missed a complete day
lay flat out in my bed
With this routine I have to do
I might aswell be dead.
