Medicated
Location
Not everything works
Like it used to when
We were young
Disease fills us
Disorders rot our minds and
We’re never cured
Anxiety creeps up
Fire that you ignore but
Can’t put out
Depression seeps out
Of your ears covering your
Pillow in ash
Modern day children
Do not need recreational drugs
We’re legally medicated
Adderall Ritalin Vyvanse
Concerta Lexapro Prozac Zoloft Cymbalta
Xanax Ativan Valium
Identities are lost
We’re treated to feel nothing
Not even happiness
We’re a nation
Who can’t survive without drugs
Medicated to live
