Medication
I look at the pills
They stare back
My family stares at me
I avoid their eyes
This could change everything.
Suddenly I grab them
Then throw them into my mouth
I swallow
With a massive gulp of water
It’s done.
I’ve been taking them for a while
But still feel a sense of shame
If someone comes round
I scramble
To quickly hide them.
But slowly they start to take effect
The world seems a little brighter
My mind quietens
Just a little
I start to feel a glimmer of hope.
Then one day I’m self aware
Conscious of life again
But understanding brings guilt
What had I done
Putting my family through this.
Years later
Didn’t think
I’d still be here
But I got help
And I made it.
Yay!
