Sugar Pills

a song about being stuck

Popping sugar pills

Placebo setting in

Lying on the couch

Patience growing thin

Waiting for the high

Know it’s not coming

Losing my fragile mind

Anticipating the finale

An ant farm

Maze of sand

Little bodies

Digging endlessly

Only so much air

Eventually

They will drown

Without anywhere 

To bury their

Dead

Popping sugar pills

Procrastinating again

Sitting on the couch,

Watching the world

Pass by. 

A screen 

Across from me

Pictures blur and scream

The story’s almost over

Time for the finale

Humming birds

Have the fastest wings

They buz and spin

And love sweet things

Sugar water

And pine trees

For a hummingbird, 

that’s all they need.

Swallowing sugar

Eyes glazed

Can’t get up

Trapped for days

Days on end

Sinking, drowning,

A maze of sand

Sugar water

Is all I have left

Soon, it’s over

The last season

The finale is finished

Now watch it again.
