Description In barely legible handwriting
Scribbled on to the medicine bottle label
Is my name Grayson Oliver Dowd
And two letters printed in ink of bold sable

In haste I didn't check the meaning
It makes sense now that O.D. stands for Once Daily
But I took it to mean Over Dose
Oh how my rational mind once again fails me

Soon after I see the weathered words
Inscripted deeply on to the granite gravestone
Here lies Grayson Oliver Dowd
With an epiphanic epitaph β€˜he died alone’

Waking from my sleep I check the meaning
I realise R.I.P. stands for Rest In Peace
And not Recovery Is Possible
So my dose of dopamine I shall decrease

In barely legible handwriting
Scribbled onto the medicine bottle label
Is my name Grayson Oliver Dowd
And two letters printed in ink of bold sable

My shaking hand struggles with the child lock
Let me flush these pills away and out of sight
Oh Dear reads the letters on the label
It appears that you finished them all last night

Hanachi-Shitsukki [2013-07-05 12:48:06 +0000 UTC]

What a clever wordplay and interesting flow! I do have to notice however that the second verse of the last stanza seems (and I say seems because it could've been intentional) to contain a little typo. (''out of site'' should've been ''out of sight'')
Good luck with your writing! β™₯

arghhhhhhh i always make that mistake lol. It doesn't show up on spell check either because of the other meaning of the word xD

thank you for letting me know and I will change it now
