I'm taking 1 pill a day,
sometimes 3,
if the headaches get bad.

I'm taking 2 pills a day
for the constant reminder
that I'm not happy.

I'm taking 3 pills day
to focus in class
instead of writing down my thoughts.

I'm taking 4 pills a day
because no one thinks
I can do this on my own.

The doctors increased my dose
and gave me vitamin D pills
to try to shrink the depression.

My mother begs me to take all five,
but the taste of the anit-depressants
leave bitterness on my tongue.

I now take 0 pills
because I gave them to my trash can,
who looks really sad and unfocused.
