Poem -
Vortex
Amitriptyline Dreams
Fluoxetine sun beams
Pierce like sharp crisp shards
of winter sun
Penetrating & regulating
Restoring hope
When needed most
An impossible war
Can now be won...
Amitriptyline swirls
of unconsciousness
Spiral like a spinning vortex
Reclining & unwinding
Back from the brink
A corpses eyes blink
Breathing back life
To the frontal cortex...

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. : )
Thank you so much for your kind comment Tony. It's only the second time I've ever had anti depressants.
I usually somehow keep my shit together. Hope you're keeping well.
By the way..
Is one hell of a line!
Love & rockets also

PS.
Not sure if I'd be jealous of my mind ?
Hi Syd,
I hope you can recover dear friend.
Keep writing, keep sharing your pain.
Hi Gerard,
I'm sure I'll be fine. I used to self medicate so at least now I'm doing things properly.

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 ?
Hi Marion,
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed the poem. I wish you and the person close to you all the best.
Take care - Syd
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
Hi Larry,
