pills

racing, pulsing through the veins
hoping it helps with the pains

mind wonders and clicks
while her clock ticks

the path is not there
never to be seen

wandering with no direction
only a hope, no longer a dream

reality stings with desire
the new normal returns

a fight should ensue
but there is no flame

the body is done.

another day arrives
and another day is done

swallow the pills again

racing, pulsing through the veins
hoping it helps with the pains
