drowsy medicine

a constant dose of drowsy medicine

entering my system like knives

leaving me in a departed state

keeping me unsatisfied

and now i am here

with grey emotionless eyes

i feel as if everyone

is telling me lies

i put a fake smile on

despite my willingness to sleep

and never get up

as i dig my grave deep

i can't feel anything

i'm a burden to all

in a world so large

i feel so small

i am trapped in a cage

a life without expression

as i wallow through time

in this deep, dark depression

so i will keep taking

this drowsy medicine of mine

while i keep reassuring the world

that i am just 'fine'
