...Silence
By SolApathy
Fading
Everlasting darkness & despair
Don’t even care
Failed to hold my emotions in check
The drugs castrated my soul
Had to stop them or risk losing my humanity
Now I’ve traded it
for my sanity
Mind laced with profanity and pain
I can feel the
bugs crawling in my brain
Am I insane?
Just wanted to be who
I was so soon ago?
Before this fatal blow
Robbed me of my reason
The pills are like family
Holding me close
Help me
I
don’t want another dose
Not the needle in my arm
Orderlies
bringing the coming storm
Inescapable silence where my thoughts are
stuck still
Controlling my very will
Can’t take another day
Must be an escape from this place
I latch to a faint strand of lucidity
Finding a final escape my only care
To escape this hell of a place
where I can’t even
Scream
I can’t dream
In your Thorizone
haze for days
You tell me it’s much better this way
Smile at
me as you take my freedom
…away

As I've long said, pills aren't always the best way to go, but they're always the first line in a doctor's defense. This really stuns me into silence because I used to lean on pills to solve all of my problems. Very good write, dearest. Reb:).
