blue pill
you cut me in the morning hours
and I bleed out on the floor
tiny drops of loathing
for the sunrise
it sees me hungover
antipsychotics have worn off
I scream at you I hurt
you never answer
a little blue pill when I awaken
count down the minutes
till I feel human again
just an hour
how long is that?
it's long enough
to make me reckless
sobriety for the insane mind
Author's Note
I take a lot of antipsychotics they leave me with a dreadful hangover of sorts in the morning hours...

thank you dearest Todski I function with meds well enough there's just cracks in my routine...the meds wear off in the middle of the night you should see the nightmares that chase me from sleep lol...
I'm not home yet from my rehab retreat It's confronting me my morning hours will be my weak spot...I have to stay away from ideas of an instant but detrimental fix...
hugs for you and your brother mental illness is painful.
love Brenda ❤

do you have the link to your poem for your brother? I would love to read it...
I have a lot to prove to myself about strength though I admit when nightmares chase me from sleep no matter the hour I take my meds and come here and count down the minutes until I feel better...
snorting a line in the morning is no longer an option...
I will learn coping mechanisms...
you and the poets here mean the world to me...
love Brenda ❤

Crimmy,
Love you! I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but time goes pretty quick, and soon you'll be saying 'I can't believe I was doing that to myself!' Stay strong beautiful, a little while longer, until those days are gone.
You're incredible, let that beautiful you shine!
Love ya,
Matthew.
And you're a fantastic writer.

As someone who's been treated for acute insomnia with a variety of medications I do connected with this write. 💊 might make better sleep but waking up can be Hell.
Thanks for sharing your soul.

It sucks you have to live like that, I also have a brother in a similar situation (bipolar schizophrenic) I’m glad you’re able to channel it into your brilliant writing. I look forward to reading your book, someday!

Re. blue pill
I know where you are coming from Brenda. I was on psych meds for 18 months. It is difficult to live with and I feel for anyone that cannot get by without. Sometimes it is challenging. *hugs*
