Ode to this medicine I'm taking
Ode to this medicine I'm taking
I'm in a standstill,
Slacking back
Without a reason I can say
Not sure what I think
What I thought?
The present, past and future got twisted somehow
I'm tangled
Lost in a bubble of confusion
All day long
What to do next?
Can't hardly decide?
To read, write, or stare at a wall
Heavy in thought, staring
Absorbing time
Like a doll
Loosing my personal drama with the world
As I go along
Inner battles with my confidence,
Feeling void
Forgetting to take up my own space
Feel my personality slowly fading away
Into a haze of dissolving numbness
What used to be colorful, of worth
Is worthless now.
I'm in a standstill,
Slacking back
Without a reason I can say
Not sure what I think

The present, past and future got twisted somehow
I'm tangled
Lost in a bubble of confusion
All day long
What to do next?
Can't hardly decide?
To read, write, or stare at a wall
Heavy in thought, staring
Absorbing time
Like a doll
Loosing my personal drama with the world
As I go along
Inner battles with my confidence,
Feeling void
Forgetting to take up my own space
Feel my personality slowly fading away
Into a haze of dissolving numbness
What used to be colorful, of worth
Is worthless now.

It's a difficult thing to try to live without medication.
I know first hand as i told the VA Hospital Drs' i was not gonna take the meds for my schizophrenia
any longer. It hasn't been easy but my mind is clearer even though i often hallucinate still especially
when i get super stressed out.
The meds change us. I hope You're coping both ways (taking and not taking)
