Pills

living with manic depression

living on pills

just existing

so it's not really living to me

antidepressants took away my tears

no more do these eyes cry

no emotion

just all mixed up inside

numb

that's how i feel

no laughter

no happily ever after

for me

bouts of insanity

when i get manicky

the rest of the time i feel so down

the pills

damn the pills

that's how i feel

You write of a sadness so deep.. that many never even know what it really feels like. Sometimes, it is possible to feel that way even if there are no pills..

It's so sad when the medication becomes the illness. You've captured that sadness in words. Thank you for sharing.

Oh do I know what you mean. Doctors keep shoving more and more pills down my throat and I'm on so many things. I don't know what's worse, the side effects of the medication or the bipolar. You did a wonderful job of illustrating what it feels like to be medicated. Great writing!
