Best Medication Poems
I have this cloud that follows me,
I have this cloud that noone wants to see.
It's all in your head
Nothing major can be done.
So suck it up
Get on out and have some fun.
But they can't see the demons in my head -
Scratching
Clawing
Biting.
The demons want me dead.
But they don't care,
They don't want to know
What is under my skin,
They just want me to smile
And pretend tht I fit in.
Another appointment,
Another prescription,
Another bottle of pills.
Saftey pin a smile on my face
So everyone else feels comfortable
While my world slowly collapses
And I fall from grace.
But the world must go on,
Everything done so formal.
I wish I could take the bottle
And one by one eat my pink freedom
But that just wouldn't be right
- Oh no-
Heaven forbid I don't act like I'm
NORMAL!!
We are ordered to provide notice to avoid a global psychosis.
Your dedication to take this medication will give you the perfect prognosis.
Take your pills to ward off those ills. They affect your brain, you’ll all find.
It’s better for society that we remove this anxiety from your very unhealthy minds.
It’s a worldwide confession that we all have depression, A phenomenon from the beginning of time.
The men in the labs provide capsules and jabs ... to refuse will become a crime.
Vicodin...
...what was I doing again?
Restlessness, impulsiveness,
loquaciousness, compulsiveness,
distracted inattentiveness
and tangent railway tracks.
Complexities, anxieties
and dopamine deficiencies.
Instant gratification please,
relief for my synapse.
Procrastination, wired sensation,
biochemical frustration,
forget to take my medication.
Frontal lobe relapse.
Rapid heartbeat, fidgety feet,
hypervigilant, unable to sleep,
central nervous system freak.
Neurological cracks.
Whenever your mind is overcome with tension
And the pressures of life surround you everywhere
Relax and enter into calm meditation
And patiently await your burdened mind to clear
Calm meditation is Nature's medication
It releases all stresses and sets the mind free
Through it, you can rediscover your connection
With the grand all pervading cosmic energy
This energy is the source of our being
It helps to empower and make us what we are
So no matter what ordeals you may be facing
Know that finally you shall certainly conquer
1
dry skin can make a
superb etching art pad that
lotion can erase.
2
lose of appetite
can help you fit into those
chic designer jeans.
3
memory loss can
be an apology crutch,
when saying something.
I heard about a boy
who had lots of friends
but most of them weren’t real:
they would sit with him
at the restaurant and read the Times
while he decided what to order
and they came fairly complete
with their own
clothes
and books
and combs
and thoughts
and
baggage;
his friends had birthdays too
and it wasn’t that he made them up
(not exactly) but that he understood
the way time works
he had read
Feynman + Einstein + Michio Kaku
and he could see what they saw:
an inevitability:
3. contracted pneumonia
at the vulnerable age of 8
and when she was brought to the hospital
the nurse administered too much potassium
and stopped her heart;
the rest were never born
but he saw those people
that live in other worlds:
each one with just one tiny spin
and so he sat
alone every morning at the breakfast table
with his friends
his real friends
and pointed out problems in the economy
and he loved
all the interesting things they had to say
about foreign policy.
but then the boy
started choking on white pills
and soon his life started to change
things became more clear
and his friends stopped calling
and slowly, they stopped coming over
to spend the night or to play baseball.
and so now he’s sitting
alone every morning at the breakfast table
with his friends
his real friends
what a bore.
It's Friday all day, what a big revelation
I can hear the astonishment throughout the nation
I'm required each day
To show youse the way
To a sunshiny life without medication

SELF MEDICATION
July 27, 2019
I have self-medicated for 45 years
Let’s review
That’s a long time.
For not having a clue
So what comes to your mind?
He must mean drink.
Not my medication
You still have to think.
That’s not it
Then it must smoke.
Not my medication
But that’s a funny joke.
There are those who
Turn to fitness for their drug.
Not my medication
I’d be better off with a hug.
Anger is an ugly one
People with it just seem to yell.
Not my medication
People hurt all over and may not be well.
Then there is physical touch
Screw everything in sight.
Not my medication
That’s a way you will never find the light.
So I showed it could have been worse
Everyone may have a curse.
Finding yours is up to you
Look at your biggest clue.
My medication is simple
It’s comfort food when I am sad.
But I make up for it with
Comfort food when I’m glad.
This is changing as I speak
Writing about is such relief.
I feel like my boat
Is no longer on the reef.
I believe so pray for me.
It can’t be changed alone.
I’m not going to let this be
Seed for change has now been sown.
I took the drug for all it's worth
and talked the drug from death to birth
And wondered why I walked the walk
of drugged for mice and not for Earth
And told myself what I would know
when all who others said I'm stoned
Told death for me when I had known
what all along was I to doned
And all I thought was left to tone
when only those who celebrate
Left me to live without a date
of what it was to concentrate
For when I learned what I had done
my lips were sealed and I was one
With what I'd learned from other's tongue
of lost for now and cost for stun
That soon I learned to be as best
what all would say had been a test
Of freedom come for those too late
and I not sure just how to gait
That even I was saved by dumb
when others left me to succumb
So I could see that I was led
in failing all with honest gum
And I could say I had belonged
to what was right and got along
To take what I gave failing grade
to all mankind who changed as wrong
It's my foundation
A lot of medication
It's my salvation
I'll be taking meds
To straighten out my old head
It's just as I said
It's why I don't drink beer
Because I might disappear
Or act kind of *****
Please give me my meds
I'll take them until I'm dead
That's something I read
Smoke my cigarette
Talk to the moon and forget
All of my regrets
What is so obscene
Pages of a magazine?
TV that I seen?
I live in a dream
Nothing is as it would seem
What is the meaning?
They are meds not drugs
Helps my brain crawling with bugs
Where's the hole I dug?
I need a place to hide
I need a brand new disguise
I can't fool her eyes...
What's the solution?
Where is the evolution?
What's the pollution?
It's all in my brain
What happens after the rain?
Will I be insane?
What is left of me?
Time is moving speedily
Save soul and body...
The heart is but a
yawning wound, needs to be burned
out. See? There you go...
LORD I THANK YOU FOR
CREATING MEDICATION
CUZ YOU THE DEVIL
WOULD REBEL
AGAINST YOU HEAVEN
HE'S ALL ABOUT DARKNESS
ALONG WITH HIS SICKNESSES
AND DISEASES TOO
YOU EVEN CREATED MEDICATION
FOR HIS ILLNESSES
THAT CAUSED SOME OF
YOUR PEOPLE TO
LIVE SAD AND BLUE
EVEN SOME WHO
YOU'VE CHOSEN TO
BELIEVE IN YOU
LORD I THANK YOU FOR
CREATING MEDICATION
HOW YOUR BLOOD SHOWED
SATAN'S KINGDOM
AND HIS DIZZYNESS,HEADACHES
HIS NAUSEA,HIS MIGRANES,ETC.
DON'T GET IT TWISTED
JESUS IS STEAL HEALER
MAKE NO MISTAKE
IF YOU HAVE TO
TAKE MEDICATION
GOD CREATED IT
FOR JESUS TO COME
TO USE THEM TO AIDE
CHRIST IN HEALING YA
No medication
No more medication, no more sedatives.
No more manufactured state of bliss,
Is needed here for I have found my peace.
If all you bring is negativity,
Then keep your thoughts away from me;
For your negativity can no longer hurt me.
For I feel nothing for you anymore,
Whilst feeling everything for her, the next girl.
She is naturally kind when she goes au naturel;
All I want from you is that you go to Hell.
There is nothing like TV to kick you in the teeth
And bring you down to your knees, down to reality.
Watching romantic comedy movies,
Is no longer possible for me.
Life is a rollercoaster with its ups and downs,
But you enjoy the ride sometimes, when love is in the air.
It all happens in an instant,
Blink and you will miss it.

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.
