I stopped taking them
My anxiety heightened
My depression soared
I started to feel frightened
by my reflection.

I didn't want to eat
I didn't want anything
Endless sleep sounded tempting
Weeks passed by
and I wanted to be the sky
I got new pills
Scared to take them
but more scared of not taking them
A painful detox was what it was
Feeling frozen and cold
Nothing sprang from nothing
The new pills are helping
There are still side effects, at least that's what I've been told
