This is the medication of life

It provides birth and death

Those are the only things you can be promised

Side effects range willdy but may include

Extremely good memories tainted by

What happened next

Love and earth shattering heartbreak

Being forced into a broken school system

Side effects may include

Losing friends

Regrets

Moments of hopelessness

But don’t worry this is only the beginning

Side effects may also include

Mental problems

Such as

But not limited to

Depression

Anxiety

And ptsd

If you’re reading this

You’re already taking this medication

Or trying to take enough medication to get forget this one

But don’t worry there is no ad later on about suing for damages done that you didn’t realise would occur

This medication may

Become a condition 

Because this is not a medication you can just stop

Or at least that’s what you thought

Until your friend called you last night for the last time

Side effects may include

Not being able to save them

Not understanding

Side effects may include

Holding onto people things memories and feelings in an obsessive unsafe way

Not being understood

Searching for a cure to these side effects

Disclaimer:

There is no cure for these side effects

It does not lie at the bottom of the bottle or

In the last puffs of that cigarette or vape

Or in the cabinet of pills

The medication of life

May also come with positive side effects of

Good friends

Things or people you love

Moments that will never be forgotten

Achievements and accomplishments

New things to love

Seeing karma finally get it’s revenge on someone who deserves it

The next season of a show or a new album

That dream life

The ability to love yourself

Side effects can be serious

But are worth living through

If at any point you wish point you wish to quit taking this medication

Please talk to a loved one or

Call 1-800-273-8255

Welcome to life

Side effects range wildly
