My Mind Grew Numb Throughout The Years
Medications Awakened Fears
The Sound Of Clocks Ticking In My Ears
Itching To Clip My Fingers With Shears
...
The Inside Of My Voice Crying
From The Information Prying
Expression Solemn And Somber
And My Conditions Still Unconquered
...
Realizing I'm All Alone
And Hating The Ones Who Condone
Caring Only For What They Own
Not For The Effects Of This Unknown
...
There Is No Saving Me, From These
Things That Disrupt My Inner Peace
These Are All Things That Shouldn't Be
My Faith In Life Was To Be Free
Not To Catch A Thought As Vast As The Sea
...
Instead Take A Look At My Dread
Simply This Is All In My Head
My Brain Is As Heavy As Lead
You're Zombie To Me, I'm Walking Dead
...
I Have To Deal With The Unkind
While Being Forced To Get In Line
Twice A Day I Squawk Like A Crow
The Pills Are The Only Thing I Know
...
Used Like This Causes Sedation
Hindering My Concentration
Pointing Toward An Affectation
And I Blame False Documentation
...
There Is No Plea For Me You See
I Can't Stand And Say Its Just Me
I Am Normal Naturally
As A Teen Initially
The Facts Are At The Beginning
My Soul Degraded Substantially.

A well-written poem. Your poem delves into themes of mental illness, societal indifference, and the burden of medication. It addresses feelings of despair, loneliness, and the desire for freedom from one's own mind while also critiquing the stigma and misunderstanding surrounding mental health.
This is an existential reflective poem that flows well. Nicely done
Medications available for use in a psychiatric environment are crude with multiple side effects. But they are all psychiatry has at its disposal.
I hope that laying it out as you have here provides some relief(if only a little.)
