My Demons Favorite Game

My Demons Favorite Game

I wish someone would take a moment to see the real me, if you could see past the fake smiles, there is a heart full of animosity, dark thoughts constantly running through my mind, my doctor perscribes me a new med, "It will work if you give it some time", but it never does, on the inside I'm already dead, I tell myself for me it's too late, no medication can save me now, time to face my fate, death has been knocking on my door for years, I toss them in a box with the rest, but this time I hold back my tears, I'm not afraid any more, too many failed attempts, I'm literally broken to the core, looking at me you'd never be able to tell, I always keep a smile on my face, but my laugh is what helps it sell, no one ever took the time to ask, maybe knowing the real me was too heavy of a task, I lay awake unable to sleep, my demons have now come out to play, their favorite game called life or death, a restless day has now become a sleepless night, as much as I want to let go and end it now, I was raised to never give up a fight, tomorrow's a new day, 500 mg of seroquel to fall sleep, so now to my demons I must say, sweet dreams, but dont worry, tomorrow again we shall play.Ā

Being Me

Hi Veronica. I am so sorry that I missed this when you posted it. I have only found it now because your brother reposted it and drew our attention to it. It is such a heartbreaking write that I just had to comment. I hope you are doing okay today. And I hope all the days thereafter get even better. Life is not an easy ride and our mental health can suffer badly. Please keep writing your poetry because you have a gift of being able to communicate the pain to others really well. Not everyone understands the horror and implications of mental illness and dismiss it when they really shouldn't. Bless your heartĀ  I hope you find brighter days ahead x
