Medication - We Are Temporary

Adderall to wake, Ambien to sleep

Citalopram and Xanax for anxiety

Wellbutrin as an aid to my sobriety

We know when it's not true, we know when it's not real

It's real if you can feel the rush of what you touch

It's real if you can touch the things that make you feel rush

Everything I thought, I thought I knew was true

Was built on lies I told myself when I was young

And so the darkness spoke with a persuasive tongue

At night I twist and turn, haunted by my dreams

Not dreams of things I've done, but things I didn’t do

The vision of the man I should have been with you

So the darkness spoke of silence and despair

A parched summer wind, a whisper in my ear

“Take my quiet breath up into the air”

I am sad even though I am on all the meds
