Amphetamines slither down my arteries
and convulse in my extremities
it's a remedy for the pain
a recipe for disaster
Eight little lines lay pretty in a row
Take me up, Shake me up, Wake me up
NOW!
Children are ensnared in the soothing blankets of crossfire
from friend and foe
filled with woe, we carry on
Forever
Our dance is a tribal one.
Our end is a Denial Gun, made to filled the world with hot disgrace
This is deja vu, I hate this place
I am here, it seems, at every wrong turn
and my skin begins to burn
and my stomach starts to churn
but I still yearn for my poison
the noise in my ears is endless, relentless
Im defenseless to the sirens
so Im drawn in again
into the Deat Spot to rot
I blot out the memories of the battles I've fought
so let our wounds clot because we know we've got to
carry on, forever.
Your words ring in my head
I remember because you cried when you said
"I don't want you dead, I just want you gone"
So I will carry on forever
Pretty pink pistols lie on the bed
Instead of remorse, we set a course for disaster
It's an antidote for the anecdotes of heartache we wrote
in the prison that you called a home.
Have you ever seen snow fly upwars?
Have you ever spent Christmas alone?
it's quiet, but it chills to the bone
Though I remain unknown, I will carry on
Forever

I loved this poem. In diction, meter, and rhyme it was perfect, as I am beginning to expect from you. I loved your simple yet meaningful description of spending Christmas alone. Also, I could empathize with the horrors of taking medications, especially for depression and other mental imbalances.
