Life on Pills

Capsule spilling out medication and spelling out cure

Every morning,
Awakening comes with thoughts,
Of names and colors.
Wonder how suddenly,
My life seems governed by those attributes.
The shape and contour must be smooth-
To swallow as recklessly as water permits.
Pills of different hues-
Red, golden, orange, green and white-
Vitamins, minerals and paracetamols.
I can't find my strength any more-
Caged by assorted thoughts,
And lack of desire to touch morsels.
At times,
I do sense the end nearby-
As I black-out,
And fade away.
At times, I wonder,
If the fight to exist is worth all effort.
I remember my mother,
And her pains to take me off the pill support-
Lead a natural life.
But how that can be-
When normal is bygone?
As the stress and bile fuse in,
Numbed be my veins as my blood flow
Remains constricted.
Blue veins stare out,
I urge for the crimson tides-
To exhibit signs of life,
As my life stays inhibited.
Cold grips toes,
I cannot move or walk-
There is a lack of stamina and sensation-
Is it due to my mind or weakness in general?
I long for the hours to discontinue,
As the meaninglessness of pills settles in deep.
