OxyContin (A Poem)

I know a pill that takes your pain
When it slides down your throat
Or travels through your nose
Or courses through your vein

I know a pill that makes it better
You're numb to the world
It all melts away
And you're lighter than a feather

I know a pill that makes you blind
There's no right or wrong
Even the good is bad
You leave everyone behind

I know a pill that takes your soul
You live a double life
Drown in your lies
But tell yourself you're in control
