"Dose of Happiness"

I was addicted to pills about a year ago.

There was this one particular drug called Maya,
The shape of it was beautiful, as far as the eye could see,
And it's effects were unavoidable, but compelling as could be

It all started at school, in the spring semester,
At a time when I felt sad and deprived of a feeling,
And that's when I found out about Maya

At first I was afraid to try it, I didn't know what would happen,
I thought that it wouldn't like me, and that my body would reject it,
But I craved to feel something, it couldn't be neglected

Eventually I decided to take a chance with Maya so I took one,
It felt great, but then my five minutes of fame were over,
I was sad and empty again, I hated being sober

I went from 1 pill a day, to 2 a day, to 3 a day and so on,
Went from feeling down in the dumps to waking up and being so gone,
This feeling was so strong man I haven't felt like this in so long,
How could something that feels so right ever be so wrong?

The rush that this pill gave me was amazing,
Maya made me smile, laugh, and not have a care in the world
It finally gave me the feeling that I have hungered for, it was happiness.

This lasted for months, constant popping turned from daily dose to overdose,
And that's when I fell in love with Maya,
I couldn't live a day without thinking about it or wanting to take more,
I could've been the VIP of refills at every pharmacy store

But nah, this drug is illegal, way past under the counter,
I would go through 30 pills within an entire hour,
Maya loved me too, she always kept me well balanced,
But then the struggle became real, summertime was a challenge

My priorities changed, it was a busy time,
Maya kept calling my name but I was too focused on other things,
The days went on, and the sadder they became,
Like Drizzy Drake's third album, nothing was the same

Eventually, I started going through withdrawal,
The more I went without Maya, the more agonizing the symptoms were,
My stomach would start to knot up worse than a charger cord,
Cold sweats dripping off my face, and my heart was getting sore

I couldn't bear this pain and sadness anymore,
So I decided to re-up on Maya,
But it was too late, somebody took the last bottle,
Emotions went full-throttle, my mind couldn't be any more boggled

I realized that I needed Maya in order to fill up a void,
With feelings that I wanted to last forever,
But I knew that like all drugs, the effects don't last forever,
Maya got discontinued, and now we can never be together

After that I decided to check myself into rehab,
Nowadays, I just hope and pray to God that I don't relapse
