Silly little pills
resting in my open palm.
They catch the dull, white light
and shimmer dimly.
These little pills,
the silly little doctor says,
will make my head 'right'.
Silly little pills
popped into my mouth.
The water cold and clear
with a metallic taste.
These little pills,
the silly little doctor never said,
would fill me with hate and fear.
Silly little pills
clamoring in their case.
I shake them and they bash together
making an angry rattle.
These little pills,
the silly little doctor never knew,
would make me uncontrollable like the weather.
Stupid little pills
mangling me inside out.
They make me see what is not there
and force me to act in ways I'd never dare.
These little pills,
the cruel doctor lied,
fixed a minor problem but now my mind will never repair.

I really enjoyed this poem. The subject matter and the way you conveyed it was amazing.

Thank you very much, both of you. It always means so much to hear feedback on my little poems, especially when that feedback is that they were enjoyed.

"silly little doctor" is right... i love how doctors think they can send you away with a bottle of chemicals and expect something more than palliative to happen.  same thing happend to me, i got off them two weeks later and i've been managing a lot better ever since.
