Pretty Pretty Pink Pills

Pretty pink pills  
so pale pretty pink  
Round and round you go  

Tragedy before, tears fall
Heart break, lungs constrict  
stoic peace after, abstract  

Outside looking in  
Time marches on, duty to be done  
 
In the times between times  
while all slumber I wake  
Mind whirling, cognizant  
body shaking, uselessly begging  
for repose no longer given

Author's Note
My experiences with prescribed psychiatric medication. The medicine here is Klonopin. Despite how I feel after taking it, I still have a family to care for.
