The Pill Poem by Brenda Harper

A pill to set me free
A pill to make me
Me
A pill to ease my pain
But when the pill is gone
The hurt will start again
A pill to see what is real
A pill to see what is not
A pill to handle what cannot be
But when the pill is gone
The chaos will stand ground
A pill can make me numb
Forget what was and just move on
A pill can make me see
Flowers on the walls
Beauty everywhere
Take the pill away
Then there will be despair
