Adderall
The pills her doctor gave her
Are meant to keep her focused.
The side effects
Don't matter,
As long as she does what she is told.
Oh yes, she can focus
But never sleep.
She can study for hours,
But never feels the need to eat.
She can work through papers swiftly
Despite the splitting pain in her skull.
As her grades rise,
Her mood falls.
As the pounds melt away,
So does her feeling of control.
Although the haze she could never quite snap out of,
Has long cleared up and gone,
She now has the constant sense that something will go wrong.
When the doctors gave her the medicine
They disregarded the anxiety disorder
Shes had since her fourteenth year.
She is now wide awake for her morning classes,
With veins full of fear.
And despite all this
All she can hear
Is her parents saying
"We're very proud of you this year."
