Depressed and Drugged

Caffeine so I can stay fast awake
Escitalopram to push the anxiety out of my head
Ergotamine to make my brain relax
And Azelastine keeps my allergies in check.

Codeine to stop the hacking coughs
Metazoline to breathe clean and deep
Montelukast to reduce the sneezing
And Zolpidem so I can finally sleep

By filling my body with poisons
I can finally get a taste of full health
For all it's a half-life, dependent on medicines
Someday I'll stop being ill.
