14 pills

by krisstarah   May 25, 2010


One pop, two pop
three popped pills
i do it for the pain
but mostly for the thrill

four pop, five pop
six go down
i do it all alone
and with my friends around

seven pop, eight pop
there goes nine
have i had too much
no, I'm just fine

ten popped pills
should i do more
how about different ones
i think I'll take four

all the pills i popped
14 down in all
right now I'm standing still
but i feel I'm gonna fall

everything is going black
i miscounted the dose
now i cant breath
I'm starting to choke

i start to fall asleep
I'll have to say goodbye
tonight will be my last
cause i chose to get high

    Very interesting poem. It is smiliar to an event that happened to me years ago, that could have cost me my own life. The pattern of repetition in this poem helps it flow nicely. Since the lines are so short, I can see this would be difficult, but I would love more description of the scene, so I can picture that moment better. Nice poem.
