Switching Meds

Titrate down till all the help is out of your system the thoughts come fast the pointless days silent nights the evil, sharp edges of sanity roll with it, as blades of suicidal ideation fill your waking hours wait, wait, wait the new one will come soon new medicine that will take the thoughts away, that will raise you from near dead daydreams and let you breathe slow and even, rest until then, just turn, walk away and shhh keep it to yourself no one wants to think you have any problems like that.

Like that wait, wait, wait line--the new one will come soon, very open poem about what a person might be thinking in this situation. Strikes me as a self-aware person who has developed good strategies to deal with this.
