In my head Spiders in the head Spinning webs Planting false memories Feeding on pain and misery Choking on pills that let me see The world ringing the life out My soul in chains Breaking limbs Insane Spiders in my brain Spinning webs Suffocating daydreams Escape in need Cobwebs in my eyes As the spider dies.
This poem deals with the issue of being on medication almost all my life. It is heavy in metaphors; just in case you did not catch that. I believe this was written back during college when I was on some medication that was not working right, and I was getting fed up with it.
I do believe that medication is a great thing when it works, but when it doesn’t it can be a very scary thing.
