You take the pills

You take the pills

A Poem by Samantha Heaton
"

To my mother...

"

You take the pills
because your hurting
your trying to run away
run away from your pain.

 

You take the pills
even tho you know it hurts me
you know i dont like seeing you
seeing you slowly kill yourself.

 

you take the pills
even tho dad told you
if you take them again i will leave you
leave you so we dont have to see you hurt

 

you take the pills
even tho one dark night
you took to many
to many for you almost died

 

you take the pills
even tho you know what happend last time
you woke up in the hospital
in the hospital because you almost overdosed

 

you stoped taking the pills
when i stole them
from where you hid them
you hid them in my little brothers drawr

 

i gave them to my dad
because i wanted him to know
what you were slowly doing
you were slowly killing yourself

I think this is really great. You wrote it from your heart and you can feel it breathe through your words. It also flows nicely.

Nice write. Its sad that people get so bent on using drugs that it takes over everything in they're lives. I'm sorry that you have to see this curse of addiction in someone that you love.

This I can relate to in a big way. My mother did this type of thing when I was younger, and it made me have to grow up fast. Writing helps. Get things off your mind. It's a strong poem, one that brings out a lot of emotion.

Some type of pills leave you weaker. I believe Doctor give too many pills to people. Sometime healing can be done without polluting the mind. I like the purpose of this poem. Trying to redirect another person ain't easy. In the end. The person must decide to do the right things. A powerful poem with a sad tale. A excellent poem.

This is a sad emotional write. You're mother really should think about you and your brother and not herself. She has you to care for. I hope your mother stops. Thanks for sharing.
