Why do I have to take them?
Every single night
8 little tablets that rule my life.
Without them I am poorly
I cannot cope,
I see things and hear things
I cannot see any hope.
I know I have to take them
Every single night
I've battled against them,
But they have beaten every fight.
Each night I know that I am going to have to face,
So I pop each little tablet out of its case.
Swallow them with water,
Each one goes down,
I have tried to fight them
But, now I have come to know
I need them to function properly
To stop those highs and lows.
One day when I reach Heaven
I will need them no more,
I will gladly Throw them away
Out of Heaven's door.
For now I have to accept,
That if I want to see my little girl,
They will control me
Control my life,
Maybe they are a good thing
Because they make me be a good wife.
Please tell me what you think

I feel for you because I am probably in the same position with my meds. Who knows what would happen if I stopped taking them or forgot for too long.
All the best to you in this battle, and I hope that you are more that just a "good wife" and mother. You are a person in your own right!

This is a great write, both painful and grateful at the same time. I have my own pills, for a variety of thinks, that I too will take for the rest of my life, and it IS a pain, as well as something that makes me occasionally feel "weak" or "inferior" -- but my best state knows that's not true, and that these pills are a miracle for me and so many others... I think of the godawful pain people used to have to just live with, or die from... You wrote this wonderfully; thank you for sharing!

Yes, they are a good thing!! It is wonderful that there is something out there now that helps you. In the past there was nothing for people who needed it. It is a blessing that you are able to get the help you need with those tablets...it isn't your fault..
A very strong and passionate write. Your heart beats in it.
