Untold Story

Pain killers. Metaphorical right? Will they help ease my emotional pain? The answer is no, but like hell I tried. I popped Tylenol like candy, its a miracle that I never needed to get my stomach pumped. An untold story, one filled with teardrops on my kitchen floor. Each night I'd see just how many, I could take. Most nights it was on an empty stomach. Had I continued this behavior, It's unlikely I'd be here writing this out, I'm so glad I didn't continue.

I am glad you didn't too. Pills don't help emotional pain but writing and sharing does. Glad your here.
