"Look at me!" I would shout and cry

To those who were passing by

Desperatly trying to turn their heads

But that was me, without my meds 

 

I would jump up and down and run through the house

But when my meds kick in, I silently scurry like a like a mouse

Throughout the day, I keep to my self and do my school

But when my meds where off, I act like an utter fool

 

"Why am i two faces of a coin?!?" I'd wonder

Then i realized the spell i was under

My personality was switching between calm and shrill

Because of one tiny red pill

&quot;At this moment, there are 6 billion, 4 hundred, 71 million, 8 hundred, 18 thousand, 6 hundred, 71 people in the world. Some are running scared.. some are coming home. Some tell lies to make it through the day.. others are just now facing the truth. Some are evil men at war with good, and some are good.. struggling with evil. 6 billion people in the world, 6 billion souls -- and sometimes.. all you need is 1.&quot;
