Day 4: A Containment Poem

Temporary 

                                                 

Plastic bottle

Child proof lid

Small white pills

Two at a time

Every few hours

Promising me

Sometimes a lie
It's temporary
Relief from the pain
My brief escape

But don't forget

It's temporary
Can't forget
The pain returns
Every few hours
Two at a time
Small white pills
Plastic bottle
Child proof lid.
