Panic Disorder With Adhd and Bipolar 1

I've been labeled by society, 
mentally ill
Here go ahead, just take this pill.

The mystical gates of Heaven close 
as I cross
Hell is bound to me on earth, my 
spirit is lost.
I wake from my slumber knowing 
this,
My dreams have left me, I hardly 
exist.

I hold in my hand one yellow, one 
blue
I hesitate to take them, the choice is 
up to you
Happiness for me comes in a pill
Knowing that thought makes me 
more ill.

I lay back to sleep Im free once again
Knowing when I wake its just me and 
this pen.
"How are you feeling, how was your 
day"
I know if I tell the truth Im going 
back away
Locked in a room, closed windows 
and doors
The only thing I'll have left is what I 
adore.

For an hour or so my mind is free
Than the pills just wont let me be.
My dreams fade to dirt
remembering my whole life thats 
hurt.

Date: 8/19/2012 5:19:00 PM This is a really good poem, and can relate. Sometimes we never truly feel free, but feel closed from our fears. I noticed you made a couple of typos. I thought I would let you know. In this line: My dreams have left me, I hardly excist(should be exist) Hapiness for me comes in a pill (should be happiness) It seems like everything is about pills and what will make us feel good, and "normal."
