Medication

by Jenna Bella Oldridge   Apr 22, 2012


Chemical in my system
Effecting my brain
Dulls the senses
Makes me feel sick

Doctors say it's necessary
Vital to my recovery
Sallow it with water
Wait for effect

It's been weeks
And it's numbing me
Tormenting to the point of agony
Hollowed out on its high

Oh what is normality
What constitutes as normal
I feel far away from reality
This poison is breaking me

Yet they swear it's good for me
And I have no choice
Forced into submission
Taking pills against my will

And the emptiness is strong
Still they say I'm improving
Only I cannot feel it
It's like I'm closing in

I waited to feel better
Is this as good as it gets
Those little round pills and
A head full of regret

    I can feel the confusion and the regret and the frustration that comes within this piece. It sets an image in my brain that is very vivid. well done.

    Hun I absolutely loved this!

    There's such a sad tone in the whole poem. I feel so lost reading it as if I was on the drug myself. The idea that when you're on this drug you can't tell reality, you wonder how this can help someone especially when they feel like that after they take it. Very vivid images, awesome poem hun. Loved it!
