Prescription Drugs

Slowly being numbed
by these things
we call drugs

Lost
in a sea of calm
never to resurface

The question is,
how much more of this
can I take?

When will I start to
crave reality
and counter the drugs
with my own drug of choice?

When the numbness gets
too much for me
and I start to crave feeling,
will I take one step
over the edge?

How hard will I fall?

When I hit rock bottom
will I pick myself up,
decide this is
what I have to do
so I won't
continue to fall?

Or will I stay down,
decide that feeling terrible
is better than feeling
nothing at all?
