4000 milligrams

By freudian-slip

Thats the max dose he said
chin up and lighthearted
and of course he is
his supply is never shorthanded
never seen him shake with chills so bad
the idea
of a bullet to the head
instantly refreshes your soul
but what he can't know is that is the amount i could swallow in four hours
on a good day
good doctor
just give me my fucking prescription

    Not many pains compare with those of withdrawals, " a bullet to the head instantly refreshes your soul" I think sums it up brilliantly - XXOO Scholar
