I took Mucinex for this cough and hack 
cause when I leave it be, it always bites back 
I took Advil for my aches, breaks, and pains 
Cause when I do, it stays in its lane 
For my congestion, I took Sudafed 
All things considered, I feel like living dead 
I took Celexa when the bad thoughts came back 
But when the world comes crashing down around me 
I don’t know what to take for that 
I don’t know what to take for that 
I don’t know what to take for that 
I don't know what to take for that 
 
I'm all doped up but I've never felt lower 
All these pill bottles but nothing else to show for it 
“It'll be okay” is just a sugar capsule 
Placebo is all well and good, but things will be bad still 
 
There's cotton swabs stuffed between my ears 
And stitches closing up my throat 
Writing will drain the pus, 
But nothing will heal this infection 
My eyes swell up too much to see the right direction 
 
I don’t know what to take for that 
I don’t know what to take for that 
I don’t know what to take for that 
I don't know what to take for that 
 
Things are bad, but maybe you’re okay 
Diseases come and go, as they say

Somebody

By Ken Latulippe

It's hard not to be scared that you'll die without having made your mark on the world. It's a little of that, and a little a list of grievances against the system that created that feeling.

My Grudge

By Karianne Gabaldon

A depressing piece about someone hating themself so badly that they are their worst enemy and hold a self-grudge. Hurting themself into oblivion. I must admit that this was me until I got help. I am no longer this person due to newfound self-love. I hope those who feel this way get the help that they need as well. I love you and God loves you.
