sha- sh- shak- shaking.

I can\'t breathe.

my head is aching.

I can\'t find a place to grab.

I\'m hyperventilating as I fall.

I fall to the ground as my body twists.

or... at least that\'s what it feels like.

my body says \"think straight!\" but my brain says \"no, I insist.\"

 

I look at my prescription bottle,

teary eyed,

as I\'m mentally in pain I still refuse.

but now it\'s 7 in the morning and all night I\'ve cried.

no more pills.

no more prescriptions.

I\'m like a poor man with piled bills,

I can\'t bother anyway.

 

I want to be my normal self,

but I feel like my regular self is a lifetime membership to depression and panic attacks.

I want to be the happier version of myself,

but I feel like to be that I have to be my medication\'s personality.

 

do I rely on prescription pills and let it control me?

or do I live on with my life and only hope I get better?

as I\'m writing this my leg is bouncing uncontrollably.

I look at myself and see mascara smeared all over my face

and all on a sweatshirt that isn\'t even mine.

I glance over at my half-filled pill bottle that has lost its place.

I look down at my paper and see so many words scribbled out with pen.

 

does it end with this?

or will I feel lost even longer,

in my bed looking for a nonexistent place called home?

will I get stronger?

because it\'s been many damn years without an answer from God.
