What Drug Are You On?

Paxil, Zoloft just to name a few are killing people, yet the psychiatrist want you to believe it's helping... I say BULL S**T!

What's that pill,

Paxil,

It makes me happy,

So says the child,

But deep inside grows a rage,

Chemicals are taking over the brain,

I want to commit suicide!

She yells and screams,

running to her the bathroom with a knife in her hand,

You rush after, hoping you can save,

Your child, who is so engaged

About nothing at all,

It was a quiet dinner,

We all sat down,

Mashed potatoes with a salad and steak,

When her outburst took place,

Now she is in the bathroom,

Only twelve years old,

With a blade at her throat...

Call the police!  Call 911, wife Pleading to the father

Police is called and they come to the scene,

They break open the door to see,

An empty eyed girl, lying bloody by the sink,

Wake her,

Is there something we can do?

Mother wails, as the cops tell her to wait in the hall

No life, no breathing at all.

Attempts to get her heart started,

Fade away, as her blood drains from the bathroom floor,

Into the hall, a trail of psychatry,

She was a good kid,

Until the teachers said,

She figdeted in her seat, couldn't stand still,

To keep her in school the parents were told,

Put her on medication,

We'll see if we can help her,

Now the mother crys in deep sobs,

She remembers her daughter happy,

Before she took those pills...

Author's Note

Don't medicate your kids... it's proven even more everyday, that it alters their minds, they aren't the same. It's a testing ground for psychatry.

you have a way with words that allows the reader to becomepartof the moment and see through the eyes
the parents,the police and the unfortunate victim,but more so this speaks itself asd the deepest of
meanings by reflecting the way chemicals invented by corporate play havok on the natural body's way of
dealing with every day emotions, this is a clear exampleof how the side effects outweigh the benefit,
its sad, real, vivid, passionately scribed in form, with dynamic feature in pure subtlety, brilliant work.

As someone who used to work in several school districts, I saw children that were over medicated quite often (or medicated when they shouldn't be). This may just be a poem, but the message is far from poetry. It is a brutal reality that needs to be halted. Thanks for sharing. Well done.

This may be true in some ways, but in others this is completely skewed. Granted some people are too medicated, but since I am the daughter in a family where 3/4 people have clinical depression and anti-depressents are the only things keeping us out of the hospital I am inclined to say that zoloft is the only thing keeping me alive. Otherwise I would have killed myself many years ago...I still feel awful almost everyday but the unquenchable feel to kill myself is lessening.

But I get your point. All I can say is medication is the only thing keeping people alive...I am one of those people. Good writing but in some ways mislead.

We are an over medicated society- A pill for this and a pill for that. Especially when it concerns our children- They are on all kinds of drugs- this one is manic- this one has a deficit disorder- put them on drugs that'll fix them- Instead we are creating zombies -drug addicts and shadows. Psychiatry has its place but like wall street it's getting out of control. A spot on piece- Unfortanitly very true and real- My heart breaks at the tragedy we as a society have perpetrated.
