The veil of truth
Shrouds the mistakes
Of everything I've willed away.
With nothing left to hide inside
I'm just another rainstorm.
My darkest thoughts are rived from me
And splayed upon the ground.
Now all the help they thought would work
Just drives pain further down.
Acknowledgement, I've thrown away.
Pain isn't worth the feeling.
Another week just comes and goes
As I stand naked in the cold.
Surreal effects
Induce false highs
And I see my world start spinning.
A powerless strength
Begs it to stop
But I've already slipped too far.
Through all their dreams
I've come crashing down.
In this spiral they've created
I'm just another lie.
The hope they swore would fill me again
Has diminished even further.
And even though they try their hardest
Their drugs just numb my mind.
I'm not the one that's going to pull through.
I'm not what they hoped and dreamed.
My numbness isn't living life,
It's discarding my humanity.
I'm the only one who sees,
But never can I tell
That though I haven't killed myself
I'm all but dead inside.
Just a failure of successful dreams
Doped high on medication.

Inspired by Lithium.
This is about drugs failing to cure depression. They just cover up the effects.

You describe the struggle when drugs fail to cure depression just so beautifully.
"I'm the only one who sees,
But never can I tell
That though I haven't killed myself
I'm all but dead inside.
Just a failure of successful dreams
Doped high on medication."
The emotions are laced throughout so perfectly and strongly. You can feel the struggles as lively as if they were your own. A wonderful job on this one. Thanks for entering
