Day 6

I have lots of things to do today...Since I actually feel like doing things again! So, I thought I'd REALLY put myself out there and share some poetry I wrote in some of my...darker...moments. For those of you who REALLY know me, yes, I write poetry again. No, I'm not promising it's good, but it's real. :P


Darkness


In the dark of my room

I let in the gloom.

Finally, free to let go.


Tired, exhausted, 

Of feeling things

I shouldn't. 


I let the all-consuming sadness,

The loneliness,

Wash over me.


Nagging thoughts ruminating, 

Gnawing,

Like termites in the back of my mind.


A few tears escape,

All I can muster

From the dredges.


Dead inside

And too emotional

All at the same time.


I close my eyes.

The sweet reprieve of sleep

Finally finds me.



Medication


Oh, medication...

Make me stop caring

About stupid, trivial things.


Oh, medication...

Numb the painful feelings

Into oblivion.


Oh, medication...

Help me quit chasing

The unattainable.


Oh, medication...

Help me react normally,

Think normally. 


Oh, medication...

Quiet the racing thoughts

That never end.


Oh, medication...

Dull the lonely ache

In my heart.


Oh, medication...

Just help me feel 

Normal again.

Day 28

I think (fingers crossed) the roller-coaster ride is over. Thank God. That said, some days I still feel like I may need a higher dosage. But...
