A Paracetamol Overdose

Life’s too hard

So you make a decision

You go out

To buy the pills

It’s easy

 

When you get home

You make yourself a glass of water

Then you down all of them

It’s easy

 

You feel fine

Just a little headache

You go and lie down

It’s easy

 

You wake up four hours later

Still feeling fine

Angry because it’s not working

It’s not easy

 

Three days go past

You carry on with life

Regret what you did

It’s not easy

 

Then you start to feel ill

Your body aches all over

You go to hospital

It’s too late

It’s not easy

 

The tablets have caused organ failure

It’ll take you four days to die

Slowly, in agony

With your family watching

It’s so hard

 

A week later

You’re gone

It was only a bad day

You didn’t really want to die

It wasn’t easy.
