Pretty Pink Pills

I think they're pretty; a sickening pretty

The small tablets of sweet, sweet happiness

Coated pink to hide the blue; my blue

And pin the corners of my mouth a little higher

They hand them over to me with pitiful instruction

'Once a day, every day, and take it with food'

And I will, in a month, returning for more

The corners of my mouth pinned a little higher

I'll see a man once a week, who swears he’s listening

For $300 an hour, he’ll scribble things down and say

'I understand' or 'tell me more', a small price to pay

For the corners of her mouth to be pinned a little higher

But what's to complain about?

I've got artificial happiness!

And the pain will subside while I attempt to hide

Behind my new mouth, the corners pinned a little higher

Depression tablets tend to be addictive and if not taken a severe downfall ensues.lifting the mood with false  feelings but they help in short term depression. longer or more severe can be a battle so the tabs are "needed"  
  This is a good piece from someone who brings this true to life feeling of the effect these tabs have and curious as to whether the docs are being true in the diagnosis or is money the main goal.

Hello Malahni,

A brilliant piece of writing, attached to a true way of life for all and with(artificial) but for much needed, curable reasons applied.You have (pin) pointed the feelings of many in our society, that for reasons, more than one, whom once  have been placed on these pretty in pink pills as well as (white), just as Tina has conveyed, becomes addicted on the feelings, it was sworn to deliver and once interruption has crept into the regimen of its inception, your harm ends up outweighing the good it was to have been bestowed on its recipient, leaving you in a case of damned if you do or damned if you don't.I hate seeing my wife on these pretty little mood swingers but after being on them for so long, the addiction leaves you in the position, of not liking what you see, when they are not available or taken, as prescribed...Job well done in the honest delivery of this poem and the alterations, it has attached..

Kind regards,

Jim
