Xanax

 ----

I was once prescribed
by doctors who told lies
whose eyes were blind
thanks to dollar signs

Xanax

And though it calmed my nerves
it also blurred
and obscured
the entire world

And sent me into black outs

I was found, lost in timelines
fast forwards sans rewind
a blank slate mind
with no account for time

Which made me feel even crazier

And though I couldn't panic
and was no longer erratic
not depressed or even manic
Just couldn't cope on Xanax

It just wasn't worth it

Somehow losing reality
seemed a grave fatality
I aimed to reclaim my vitality
and sold those pills with finality.
