Pop the Pill (Depression)

Posted by threeleafshamrock on May 29, 2009 - 20:11
from the ABC set shamrock's ramblings

Just pop the pill
and lie quite still,
feel the numbness creeping?
The utter peace
of stress release;
panic attacks now sleeping

No horse-hair cord,
or dangling sword
no hyperventilating.
Time to assess
poor Damocles
and halt the palpitating

But soon act two
will start anew;
this sojourn surely passing.
Then, back on stage
To re-engage
With fears cunningly massing

Many a true word is spoken in a poem, Chris. Which is certainly the case here.

I agree with Jupiter, 'nice one' definitely.

Thanks lovely Tina; been there, done that - got the t-shirt. Not a nice place to be but we get life experiences from all kinds of places and somewhere down the line, it will probably help. XX
