My little pill

I swallow the bitter chalkiness
of my zolpidem,
waiting for my concious to be
captured by them.
Indulging in poems of Poe
searching for the ores to row-
row and rock me to my slumber
of countless nights no sleep to number.

Author notes

I haven't written in forever and this just came to me the other night as I was getting ready for bed.

Please tell me what you think

    very good

    i like the context of your work
    it's a good starter if you haven't kept up
    poetry is no easy task
    i don't usually critique a work
    but
    i'm kinda sensitive
    so i don't particularly go for naming a med
    i googled zolpidem
    it's a sleep med
    so
    you could have included
    the emptiness of the night
    lying there awake
    i brave enough to be free of fright
    as i wait for the earth to shake
    silently

    other than that
    you keep going
    you are doing good

    it really flows. its also small, possibly to be metaphorical for the 'little pill' itself?

    i like it, i love the tone of this depressed numbness, of tired acceptance... it speaks between the lines quite a bit too.

    This is a good poem. Short and straight to the point, no waffling on. I'd give you an applause but I don't have any left.
