The Pill

The little white pills
Don’t go down easy
Each pill reminds me
Of what I can’t have
And the only thing
I know I want.
These pills
Mean I’m not ready
To be the only thing
I know I’m destined to be.
These pills
Affect my body
In ways no one knows.
Each pill puts my mind at ease.
Each pill makes me restless.
