VoDKa & Lithium

A shot of vodka
helps the pain
and those two little pills
do the same.

They jump from my hand
into my mouth.
They silence any scream
or shout.

My body craves more lithium
to make me numb,
And with it,
more vodka is sure to come.

Drink it up,
swallow it down.
Give in to the tired,
don’t make a sound.

Let them tie you to the bed,
and quiet your head.
While making you gray,
and making your day.
