Vegetable
I lay upon the floor
A blank staring man
No emotions at all
Lost in another land
My anxieties gone
No shackles at all
I'll stare into space
No worries at all
I'll be a vegetable
Just taking up space
Free of my burdens
In a new altered state
Come by and see me
I'll no longer cry
Won't smile either
Cause I'm dead inside
A blank staring man
No emotions at all
Lost in another land
My anxieties gone
No shackles at all
I'll stare into space
No worries at all
I'll be a vegetable
Just taking up space
Free of my burdens
In a new altered state
Come by and see me
I'll no longer cry
Won't smile either
Cause I'm dead inside

Unfortunately, those are the side affects associated with a pill; you become disassociated emotionally and the struggle becomes real !
Sometimes, sedation is necessary to experience temporary relief but it can become another layer of distress to work through, or burden that impacts upon the quality of life you experience.
Being outdoors and actively engaging in activities generates the necessary chemicals in the brain to counteract psychological distress, however, we each find what works, and what doesn’t.
For me, self medicating isn’t an option as I just can’t cope and actively engage in a process that makes me feel like I’m living in hell.
May you and anyone else find peace if experiencing the details of this fine write !
