Anti Depressants

I am not one to enjoy being medicated, but when the times call for it I must do what I must do. This is what happens...

This medicine runs through my veins, it makes my heart seem cold.

These things I feel inside of me, are something from the old.

I always wish the best of life, to fix all of the pain.

But yet I sit here all alone, cold shivers from the rain.

It falls inside my head and heart, it burns from head to toe.

My life is causing lots of pain, it moves just oh so slow.

This drug induced mental shock, has changed my normal state.

I find myself lost again inside, but what now is my fate?

To ask a question such as this, so many things to weigh.

My quest for happiness to come must start here now today.

What can I do, how can I change, these questions I must ask.

To turn a life of wrong to right, is not an easy task.

I hope that all has not been lost, so many things to say.

I want to make the world seem right, make others see my way.

I like these rhymed couplets. Very smooth and great expression of depression, the meds, and the search one has to find their way home. You will reach many souls with this one. ~Pamela

I wanted to repay your kind visit to my site with a visit of my own to yours. I am so impressed with this. You write your feelings very well and after all without our deapest emotions to yearn to be expressed there would be no such thing as poetry. I wish you luck in fighting this word depresion. It is something that we all have to fight at times, some harder than others. You might be interested in reading my House On Hunter Hill sometime when you have a few minutes to spare.

Great work here.

Blessings,

that's an interesting reaction to anti-depressants,
to actually feel something when on them must be extraordinary.

nice write.
