Meds.A Poem by Maggie RussellA semi-coherent rambling of the thoughts of a Borderline, depressed insomniac who has way too much time on her hands. AKA me.
If I sleep, I wake up tired.
If I don't sleep, I just stare at my wall for what seems like hours. Ever since they put me on these pills, my ability to feel has been seemingly nullified. I think to myself, surely it's better than before though. Though I'm not so sure. Before, I felt. I felt too much. I cried at the drop of a hat. I cried when left to my own thoughts for too long, inevitably they turned darker and darker and more morose. I used to feel the swell of what it felt like to love someone so much it had physical repercussions. I used to be able to feel ecstatic with only a moderate amount of effort. It feels like someone's gone and flipped a switch. I almost blame myself. I want to gag every time I feel the pill slip down the back of my throat. Everyone around me says I'm getting better, I'm rational, they can deal with me. But at what cost?
