Sadness dwells inside of me
The pain I feel-you cannot see
I once showed how sad I was
You thought it would help to show your love
But what you do not understand
Is that my sadness cannot be cured by the touch of a hand
So you got me help and you think it's over
A counsler,some pills,and a gentle hug
I hate to say it, but that isn't enough
For some reason no matter what I do
No matter how hard I try
I can't get over it
I always cry
I no longer want to kill myself
But to be happy and normal and love myself
I love my family and my friends
But for some ungodly reason I just don't feel complete
I feel that I will never be truly happy
So don't get me another counsler
I'll keep taking the pills
And when I said hugs just weren't enough I didn't mean don't give me one
Because every once in a while when I start to cry
Your arms around me - make me feel alright

i know exactly how you feel. i'm on prozac along with 2 other medications. i am being forced to see a phycologist and a phyciatrist (i doubt those are spelled right). no matter how hard i try, or what people try to do, nothing works. i feel the same way about "don't get me another counsler" and "I'll keep taking the pills."

Lily

What do I think? Well, the poem didn't flow as well as some of your others, and I did have a bit of a time picking up the rhythm because it got broken around the middle of the poem. And there was a depressing recurrent reversion back to the theme of medication and the counselling. All in all....

I think the poem was powerful, pure, and conveyed incredible emotions of depression and confusion. Don't change a SINGLE word. You captured every forlorn, hopeless, dark feeling all of us have felt at times in our lives when things seemed their most hopeless. This is a fine, fine piece of writing. You should be proud of it, and you should save it. There will be days when you think that you know how you felt now; and, when you reread this work of art, you will be reminded that there is no way a person can truly remember it all, and you will again realize from whence you came.

This is a GREAT poem. You ought to be proud.
