I slip one in my mouth,

It melts. 

Delicious. 

I lick strawberry lips.

Kissed by magic.

It takes away my pain,

Senses numbed. 

Nothing seems to matter. 

Apathy takes a hold. 

25mg maximum dose.

Is it working?

I have no clue.

I have lost my inner self. 

I don't want to feel the pain,

But without it there's no escape. 

I want to taste the rainbow,

To ride a unicorn,

To talk to Jesus freely.

And face the preachers scorn. 

I can't control my actions.

They take so much of me.

They say the balance is worth it. 

Then take the rest of me.
