The slow acting suicide pill
The slow acting suicide pill
I had a need for relief when it started and therefore agreed to take the pill that would ease the hurt and suffering and take care of the pain of mind and body. I didn’t read the small print that came with the bottle but years later when I did found the words “decade acting suicide tablet”. By the time I read it I understood the side effects that came with the relief and the actual cost of the soul stealer.
When I took more than prescribed I lost some friends.
When I took without a break I lost a love.
When I took it in my nose I lost acuity.
When I took it in my veins I lost my will.
This is the flaw in the mix.
