Vortex

A most brilliant deep dive... poetically...... submerging oneself into the depths of recovery and the crazy-ass world of attempting to figure out WHY this world makes one depressed, overwhelmed, and hopeless ....about the fact .....that the world WILL continue to spin ON whether or not you decide to participate...... it's a VERY slippery slope..... and Amitriptyline is one of those 'causeways' that require a determined mind to find their way home  with in tandem........ medication is not always the answer...... depends on the system it swims in...... however... like your poem conveys...... the struggle CAN be overcome, won, and ultimately have its ass kicked!!...... your mind makes me jealous brother!!.......PINNED.....Great stuff!!..........LOVE & ROCKETS!!........T xo. : )

Hi Syd, 

I hope you can recover dear friend.

Keep writing, keep sharing your pain.

Stunning write Syd, I love that it's about the meds and their effects rather that the thoughts...brilliant. Someone close to me suffers badly and is prescribed the same, it's a terrible disease and should be' out there' considering it affects most of us...hugs ?

My Dear Friend Syd,

So often I have shed tears
For those people hooked on drugs
Their needs ever capacitated 
By multitudes of thugs
.
Few will find salvation
And beat their bodies addiction
While so many will lose their battle
To this most horrid affliction.

All my love,
Larry xxx
