pills and shrinks

What have you seen of my brain?
What do you know of my pain?
I find it insane
To believe
These pills
And shrinks
Whoever they may be
Would kill my sadness
And bring me happiness
I find it hard
Rather hard
To believe
I'm not alone
How could I not be
Something as complex
As this
Could never be deciphered

We're all broken
Because we do not see
How alone we are
And expect these pills and shrinks
To piece us together
Only you
Oh stranger
Only you
Know where each piece fits
Please find that strength
And fight yourself
Until your shelf
Is entirely yours

"What do you know of my pain?"
A very precise poem which tells us that only we can cure our own pain.
Very relatable and very smooth.

Deep and sincere one again! I really like your choice of word and style of writing, as well as the themes you choose. Well done and keep on writing.

Thank you so much for the reviews, they mean a lot to me and about my style of writing and themes, if you were to write all my writings here you'd notice a certain general disposition for writing depressing themes, I talk of mind strength and gaining control over your true self but the resolve keeps getting canceled by other "poems" I write afterwards, just something I felt I should let you knlw

Most writers do have a general style and preference when it comes to their themes and writings. And yours is one that I like and enjoy. So I'm looking forward to your next posts.
