Vein

I looked in the mirror and my eyes were scarlet red
                        My tears had dried around midnight or so
                        The headaches I loathe imprisoned my aching head
                        But I feigned a smile so noone would know
                        My tiring of it -- this pain has grown too strong
                        Like a cancer that won't allow me to live
                        Spreading disease like overly murdered hope
                        Among these takers who refuse to give
                        My blood screams blue underneath my flesh
                        From forcing down pills to mask the pain
                        Chemical poisons replace my breath
                        Willing my wellness has been in vein
                        As they inject another needle into my arm
                        I only slightly long for you to return
