Overdose

Memories of neglect and abuse
Haunted since a miserable youth
Dejected sadness decorates every move
Corruption has ultimately led to
Alcohol abuse, overdose
Substance misuse, overdose
Socially alone, please lift this curse
Helpless, can things get much worse?
Alcohol abuse, overdose
Substance misuse, overdose
Excessive measures
To terminate
Solution unseen
Must end this misery
Ninety seven paraceamol
Says take two, you went and ate them all
Slit both wrists to make sure
If you slashed your throat you’d have bled a lot more
So cold, body staring at the sky
The blood reveals how but not why
Alcohol abuse, overdose
Substance misuse, overdose
