Medication

I wake up in the morning I yawn and rub my eyes I stretch my body slowly As I begin to rise Straight into the kitchen I make a cup of tea Then I sort my tablets out And look what's on TV I sit my body slowly I light a cigarette My body's aching badly Soaking wet with sweat Then my eyes start closing Cause the Meds are kicking in I want to stay awake today But morphine's gonna win Dinner time has come around I have to go to bed Cause I can't stay awake no more I'm holding up my head I won't wake up till teatime When the day has gone Then take more medication Wishing I had none I'll stay awake till 8ish Then tablets once again It's such a vicious circle And it's driving me insane So now I've missed a complete day Lay flat out in my bed With this routine I have to do I might as well be dead.

Oh dear Donna. I'm on med's too and have to sleep a lot in the day. It's not easy but hang on in there. if we need to take them then they need to be taken. you clearly have great talent as a writer. and express yourself well. my writing is my therapy. without it I'd go crazy,. keep penning. best wishes. Pete.

if this is just a poem it captures the sense of depression if in fact it's based in truth my heart goes out to you
