Medication

Completely free structure... I really need to take something and study...

Sitting at the table, trying to study

But my eyes are so heavy,

My chest is burning

I wonder why

...

I feel so much worse today

It's bad, really bad

But I still should try learning

...

I have an exam tomorrow

It might get bloody

But my mind resists

Just thinking about the pain

Is today somehow special?

Is it for the rain?

I want to stand up

But my mind won't control the body,

It's uncooperative, like we're not somebody

Colouring the blanks in A, B Q, O, D, R, P

...

Ah... I know what it is.. I forgot to take medications.

Maybe when I take them

My mind will feel like mine again

And useless pain will begone

And I can be bright and full again

...

But I can't get up...

I might have fallen asleep...

I need to open my eyes

I need to take medication

Or it will never get better

And my smile might get expired

Just like yours...

Bought in a second hand store

Completely fake but oh well

It's useless no more

...

If I don't open my eyes now

Will I ever open them again?

But if I see the light, unworthy,

My nightmare will go on

And on

And on

...

But time flies by unnoticed

And I should study.

You portray the worried mind very well. I like the free structure. Well done.
