So Easy

 

So easy to buy paracetamol

Forty-nine pence for sixteen tablets

Before too long I have six boxes

 

So easy to open the box

See the neat rows of pills

Still encased in protective foil

 

So easy to break the foil

Take the little white tablets out

Let them pile up on the bed

 

So easy to swallow the first one

The cool soft water helps it down

The first pill, the first step

 

So easy to swallow the second

And the third and fourth and fifth

And all the rest until they’re all gone

 

So easy to hide my pain for so long

So easy to wait for the perfect moment

So easy to die
