With this pill, I do not feel normal
and have no creative energy.
It blocks all my thoughts and tears,
and that's just not like me.

My tears are a good thing,
because it helps me to write better.
The words fly onto the paper or screen
just as easy as writing a letter.

Some say I am very emotional,
and there are those that don't like that.
But my true friends and family know,
without my emotions my life would fall flat.

I carry my heart on my sleeve
and care about others very much.
I like to hug and share a laugh,
and reach out when someone needs a touch.

No pill for two whole days
and my writing has gone full throttle.
I am now truly contemplating
tossing that antidepressant bottle.

I think I like myself better
with tears than without the tears.
Does anyone else have an opinion?
Believe me I am all ears.
