Zopiclone

Missing image

hypnotic

Used in the treatment of insomnia

Treatment should follow a 2 week course, followed by re-assessment

[so what of all the other nights?]

High dependency

Severe drowsiness


Excessive doses leave patient in comatosed state

[comatosed - doesn't that sound just delicious]



Review my case notes doctor, I'm back again

re-dress the lacerations please,

And pump me full of saline


Be glad it wasn't the fucking window this time



Swallow down these bitter little pieces of solid slumber

Trap me in subconsciousness.

Not missing, just not there.

Patient will lose consciousness and all reflex reactions

Shut me off from this world,

Inside my own mind.


This is delicious, this - fake death.


And "hypnotic" - isn't that a beautiful state.

That something has confused my mind and broken through

 And has lulled it into silence.


Remove my bodily functions. starve my organs

[you've been doing a good enough job of that yourself]

Fill my blood with toxins, just to make it less poisonous


Coax me - come on, away.

Eyelids droop, and enjoy those last few seconds of the Earth.

DO you think its bright, where that takes you?

Do you wake up on a table - or a slab.

Will i wake up dead? or will my brain, still deceased,

Keep on going.


Bring me this fake death, to absorb this fake life.

Slow down my breathing, my thoughts, my heart

My liver.

Hibernate and slowly fade.

This bleeping monitor, drumming into empty ears.


Go ahead - open my eyes, and look into empty sockets.

[but you have beautiful eyes]

- They're facing inward now.

Have your fill of these fading, wasted pools of blue.


That isn't me looking back at you, anymore.


Waking up screaming, sweating in the night.

I just cant close it off. It's seeping out of me.

Course must last a maximum of 4 weeks

So what when it finishes?

What when that's over? What do I fill myself with.

How do I pass the endless day that runs for weeks without stopping.


What do I do when i wake up from this abyss.

When you pull me out of the tiny part of my mind keeping me alive.

If I wake up - where do I go from here?


I want to get up - get out of myself.

Walk into the freezing wind.

I cant feel anymore - no matter how deep i cut

How cold i get.

I'm walking and the floor doesn't feel my feet.

And dear God - i want to live, or die

And not "exist" in this "somewhere-in-between"


clinical, wrapped in robes

Metal frames and tied down with tubing.
Smell of blood and vomit and its slowly, slowly drifting off.

Turn the monitor so I can see myself die, please.

TO watch that trace

[my god, i can still create something]

There;s a fucking life inside me -

Watch that trace go flat. And know - that's it


So i can breathe again.

Every breath I take now chokes me.

And you couldn't;t give a fuck.


SO I'll take this deep, heavy sleep.

Creation:comatosed and unresponsive.

Shut out the world.


 Its me again doctor - I know, I'm horribly scarred.

I'm broken, doctor.

But you don't put bandages on anymore, do you.

No.

I don't like needles. Don't leave too many marks.


Treatment would do well to take into account

That multiple substances may have been taken

[what a stupid bitch]



Close the curtains.

And please, please -

I only wanted to get some sleep.

    You've done an excellent job of making your point rock solid. This poem expresses the endless procession of emptiness and sleeplessness that is the fate of all depressed or insomniac poeple.

    The thought of outside influence keenly putting upon you something you didn't really want to do, now, it may seem you are having privacy taken from within you, but what a powerless feel to have is someone else is pulling the strings! Nice work!!!

    And has lulled it into silence.

    Stunning

    ....and breathtaking It is a brilliant work on a quite frank and scary subject
    I loved it. Especially the last few lines....the start by contrast is viscious...and overall just left me feeling quite upset, almost alone, looking at someone in both pity and despair,...
    Talent expressed too powerfully. I loved it

    You have the most amazing writing, I think I must have said this a million times, but I consider your writing to be as good as that of Edgar Allen Poe. I'm sure I've said that before, but i can't think of any better compliments to give you. At least from my person point of view. This poem really depressed me, don't get me wrong I love it, but it was just very depressing. I mean, I do tend to listen to depressing songs and read depressing poetry on purpose. Like Mad World, most depressing song ever, but I listen to it all the time. Makes me cry sometimes. Although, this is the opposite of what I'm going though, sort of I think, I can relate. This is a wonderful poem, and I hope to read more from you.

    Kissing

    this was a quite interesting piece... i love the way you write and the way you can captivate the reader with intence words... this poem seemed too real...almost scarey... this was amazing and i thank you for writing it...

    Jacob

    (PS- i came to you a while ago to ask about what you think of the thing thats been messing with my mind, and i whent to the doctor. he said that its most likely a flashback(to a bad trip with laced weed) mixed with a panic attack. he also said im show signs of depression and ADHD... well you asked for me to tell you what the doc said so here ya go!)

    hehe you picked out the ultra-person line. its a quote, from someone else. Your right it doesnt appear to fit, but I viewed it as the sudden influx of reality that reminds the patient one of the reasons they are in that state.

    ty so much for the comments

    this poem doesnt reflect a "medical procedure" - it is about a very strong sleeping tablet, that teh patient has ODed on. A doctor would certainly never let you take that much, but they are prescribed for short periods of time of desperation.

    ty for reading and commenting.

    wow this was a trip...
    is this true? is this what they really do for those who haven't slept for eons? i know there are severe treatments out there but have never experienced them myself.
    i know about the 'non-life', wanting to live, not caring if i die and wishing it would go one way or another.
    very powerful

    I thought this was incredible. Poems of this sort - the despairing - can often fall into that old trap. Whinging on. This didn't. It was stunning. The only line that didn't seem to fit with the rest of it was "And you couldn't;t give a fuck.", i don't know, the rest of it was ghastly, a Sexton-ish darkness, and this line just didn't fit in the rest of the body. Overall though there just aren't enough words through which i can express my extreme admiration of this poem.
