They ran out of choices
When a disease isn't a disease
An infection of the mind needs therapy not pills
Money isn't infinite however
So I make my own sugar pills
By telling myself I'm fine
I lie to myself, a constant state of overdose
With artificial dopamine
A simple drug and fake smiles
Little lies in little pills
As I slowly lose me
I feel like I could do this concept a much greater justice so I may rewrite this in the future
Echoes Of A Mind Feb 2016
I take a pill
once a day
because if I don't
then I'm afraid
that all my friends will leave me

'Cause 'out the pill
then I'm like a child
so **** curious
with my eyes open wide

I speak loudly
and can't sit still
not even
if I'm told to chill

I've been alone for 14 years
I don't want to shed anymore tears
of loneliness

So to keep my worries and fears in reins
I take this pill
once a day

Still I got no guarantee
that my friends
wont come to hate me...
Poem inspired by a war in my mind

Open, POP CLICK POP
Open, POP CLICK POP
Open, POP CLICK DEAD.

Life is fleeting,
it leaves you in one quick motion.
Your so numb you can't feel any emotion.
The pills are setting in
you smile because you think this is the end.

Nothing,

you wake up the next morning with a killer head ache.
You look at the bottle emotions pouring back in a wake.
The familiar numbness is missing
and here you are tears forming at the eyes hoping,
wishing.

The pills are all gone
your at wits end.
Then you remember you have little friend
You pull it out from its dark hiding spot.
Fumbling for the bullets in a moment of distraught
You take the barel put it to you head
and count to three
1
2
3
and then your Dead.
Pity the ones you do it and succeed. Help the ones who are at risk. Be aware. Be woke. Suicide is no joke.

I'm mentally ill
so i'm given more than one pill

Living in this mental house
Find the cure and poisoned mouse

Barred up windows and no escape
Padded walls that do not break

Line up the crazies all in the room
Out of order with violent doom

Swallow the pill, the nurse once said
Disobey and punishment another one fed

Tied to the bed with buckles and straps
Screams are moot, silent alas

Dazed, confused like all the others
Hit the wall, Why do I bother?

Walk in circles on the end
Days and nights never do mend

Escaped for a moment and brought back in
This mental house is my  sin
Trapped inside your own mental house, this is how I see it
there i was
worried
about coming home
to an empty space
filled with two cats
and memories i can’t erase.

i made it home
i was benzo’d out.

i did the dishes
catching myself
from the ***** soap water
repeating the things
distract and relax
that's what the crazies said

here i am, in my head
saying it too
am i crazy
or am i just living dead

so i vacuum
and say it again
i can cope,
panic doesn’t ****


does this make me crazy
that i say these things
to keep me calm
to distract and relax
my mind knowing that
**i’m all alone

I try and paint my ugly *** feet,
with black nail polish,
but my medication,
isn't allowing me to feel my hands,
so they shake,
and the only reason I know,
is because of the darkness they've painted,
over my fat uglyer now blackened toes.
just a poem about me painting my nails

Baggy sweatshirts
Faded cologne
Pass the pipe
So I don't feel alone

Crinkled letters
Miles apart
Take a shot
To ease my heart

Foggy memories
Dreams of you
Pop some pills
I won't feel so blue

Drugs and distractions
My mind isn't clear
But my biggest high
Comes from you, my dear
