But the truth is I’m scared.
Reading up on side-effects,
Forgetting all the pain I haven’t shared.

I think about my great friends,
Feeling as if I’ve been living two lives.
But is the answer in this bottle,
Something to wash away the lies?

I assure myself it wasn’t that bad,
All those years of pretending.
But really I just can’t see how
This will bring about an ending.

I feel as if this is an admission of guilt,
That I swallow down the weight of fault.
I can’t see how this will help,
That this pain and evil can halt.

I don’t feel capable of deciding,
I’m in desperate need of advice,
That not taking anti-depressants
Simply isn’t worth the price. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 222 [topic] => 61 [informant] => Chamaron [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => selfstruggles )

Joking about happy pills,
But the truth is I’m scared.
Reading up on side-effects,
Forgetting all the pain I haven’t shared.

I think about my great friends,
Feeling as if I’ve been living two lives.
But is the answer in this bottle,
Something to wash away the lies?

I assure myself it wasn’t that bad,
All those years of pretending.
But really I just can’t see how
This will bring about an ending.

I feel as if this is an admission of guilt,
That I swallow down the weight of fault.
I can’t see how this will help,
That this pain and evil can halt.

I don’t feel capable of deciding,
I’m in desperate need of advice,
That not taking anti-depressants
Simply isn’t worth the price.

I don't know how many times i've crawled into a bottle looking for the help to forget. even just for a couple of min. The only problem is that it's never worked for very long. Very explanative write. Keep hope and keep writing. It seems to help.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
