On birth control

I mark my time in pills,
little daily doses of reality
as time slips away.

These perfectly formed pills-
a stark contrast to my life-
stamped and placed efficiently
in their perfectly formed
blister packs,
ready to be swallowed.

sometimes a girl feels
as if she's drowning
in pills, being swallowed whole
as she lays there alone.

Encased by many blankets
as her feet try -thump- to escape,
in the throes of a bad dream
little nightly doses 
of terror made real 
as time slips away.
