Lithium, I cry out to thee.
I need you to regulate
I need you to emulate
I need you to dull this knife
called depression
My joy has died and in its succession
is darker days and louder storms
But with you near they take a form
far less imposing and nowhere near
as inspiring of such powerful fear.

Lithium, I cry out to thee
Abandon me please
But only if my heart is solaced
Help me distinguish the fake from
The Real.

The real that is love, the fake that is pain
yet my hear and mind take both the same.

Help me.

very nicely done. I really liked this poem. Good luck with the future, this poem displays pain and pain is BAD....so get well.



I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

Doesn't it make you just want to scream? Ugh. Anyway, this was a wonderful poem. I mean really. You expressed your feelings very well.

And I have to disagree, Dopey. Pain is growth.

we still pretend
the time we spend
not knowing when
we're finally free
