my father's pharmacy

My father has his own pharmacy
In his front room
Boxes and crates upon each other
All alone he consumes
In an attempt of healing
Only to soothe

He is alone all day
And so am I
Yet the only one difference between us
Is that I am surrounded
And he has no ally

Instead of being isolated and lonely
Why don’t we combine ourselves
To set ourselves free
The pain you’re going through
Is in no compare to my despair

I isolate myself to feel control
The feeling you’ve always desired
But nature takes its course
Oh yes it does
I wish I wasn’t such a narcissist

And realise that I am not the only one
Who exists
Then I could take care of myself
And others too
For my pain is in vain
Compared to you
