I am feeling very vulnerable right now and so I would appreciate some positive feedback.

The perfect life I live
Is crushed by hidden fear
I live my doleful days
Crying at the mirror

I am the 'perfect child'
I am the 'perfect me'
My mind is a piece of hell
of problems polished you can't see

The pill I look at in my hand
It tempts me oh so strong
I've never been so vulnerable
and deprived of bliss so long

But if I give into this for once
I've given up at last
I feel nostalgia everyday
Curse my wonderful past

You are there and I am here
Alone I cry at night
The things I want that I can't have
prove love doesn't always take sight

Shake away my lonliness
That I cover up so well
Free my pensive mind
Open a door before I fail

I still stare at this pill
and I squeeze it in my fist
It tells a story of happiness
Like those days that are so missed

Wow, I can really relate....I know, its hard to give up anything, expecially those self destructive behaviors- they are a sanctuary....I struggle with these issues daily, but remeber, If your giving in, your giving up.

Thinking is just what a great many people think they are doing when they are merely rearranging their predjudices.

This is very well written poem and I completely understand where you are coming from. I suffer these problems everyday... but just listen to yourself and you will know what is right.. and never give up you will always find your way out!
