Missing My Meds Poem by Ramona Thompson

Missing My Meds

Rating: 4.0


A dark rewrite/parody of John Waite's classic 80's hit Missing You

Everytime you make fun of me
I always gasp of that one more sane breath
And yet still you jeer
Over the distance miles away
And I'm wondering what I have left to live for anymore


And there's a flame war that's raging
Through your stone cold frozen hearts tonight


I read about my name and reputation being ruined in certain of your circles tonight
And it always cracks through my fake happy smile
I spend my time
Thinking how to get back at you
And it's almost driving me wild
And it's my innocent heart you're all breaking
On this internet message board tonight


I ain't missing my meds
No, not tonight
Tonight I'll finally be gone
Away
Forever
Just like you all always wanted
It's gonna be the overdose you all have prescripted
So many
Too damn many times before
So please don't try to save me now
Cos I'm finally had enough
And I refuse to listen
No matter what
No matter what your guilty words might say


There's a message
In each of your in-boxs
And I'm sending a copy to everyone here tonight
You don't know
How desperate I've become
And it looks like you bullies are gonna win this fight
In your world
You never let me have any meaning or worth
So with this last act
I'm hoping you'll all understand
The monster that you made me
The actions that you drove me to


And there's a flame war that's raging
Through your stone cold frozen hearts tonight


I ain't missing my meds
No, not tonight
Tonight I'll finally be gone
Away
Forever
Just like you all always wanted
It's gonna be the overdose you all have prescripted
So many
Too damn many times before
So please don't try to save me now
Cos I'm finally had enough
And I refuse to listen
No matter what
No matter what your guilty words might say


And this is the last message I'll be sending out
To lay forth my pain onto your sorry pitful souls
And if you won't try to bridge this distance
Stop my heartbreak overload
Then I guess...
No I know
I don't really wanna go on living anymore


I ain't missing my meds
No, not tonight
Tonight I'll finally be gone
Away
Forever
Just like you all always wanted
It's gonna be the overdose you all have prescripted
So many
Too damn many times before
So please don't try to save me now
Cos I'm finally had enough
And I refuse to listen
No matter what
No matter what your guilty words might say
