With my darkling

Sometimes awake, I know my my mind
but most times I am shocked to find
That often I am the last to know
How far my empty madness goes

I know I'm sick, I'll take a pill
and hope with money it will fill
A pharmhisist, with all his skill
can only give me doctors swill

if that had worked, in all these years
i would not be filled with these fear's
a pill, a drink, a drug or 2
has never helped a dead man through

I gasp, I know, my time is gone
With kids, they smile
my choice is gone

I'll smile
and be
who they expect

it wont be them
i'ts me
I'll
neglect

Reminds me of the song by Huey Lewis.... I Want a New Drug. .. or Need a New Drug...one or the other..lol.
  Anyway, sometimes we just have to deal with what life hands us possibly with a wee help from the docs. If it doesn't work...we forge on and try something else. But, only if it allows us to enjoy famiily and friends. Cause with them, even the toughest of times can feel not so lonely.
   Be well. Enjoyed the write.
hugs, Chris
