Off My Medication

So this is what the end looks like.
This is what suicide lurking behind you feels like.
I will no longer sugar coat a damn thing!
Death’s tapping it’s pointed fingernails on my back,
asking if I am ready to crossover into peace.
I can’t go on in the imaginary world
when the real world holds so much beauty.
I can’t be laid into the dark of a casket yet
when the sun of hope blankets my beaten soul.
A soul that’s encased by this body
feels withering and beaten by judgments.
I don’t want to live anymore BUT…
deep down I don’t want to harm myself.
So, this is what the end looks like…
I can’t smile anymore and if I do it is forced.
I don’t try to shelter anymore with meds.
Hope seems like a distant memory…

A curse on this schizophrenic life!

Author's Note
This is not a joke. I did this free write as I sit in a restaurant called The Mug and Muffin in Monson, Massachusetts. I have been off meds for days now and out of psychotherapy for months. My name is Daniel Long of Monson, Massachusetts. My network of friends is limited now to this poetry website. And what fine people you all are! Maybe, just maybe, it’ll be you all that keep air within my lungs. Hell, I’ll even leave my number if it keeps me alive: 413 366 8289. Txt preferred.
