depression

1,000 miles away from here,

inside myself.

That dark, dark place where

the red pills do not work.

  

But sometimes the red-pill is all there is;

Do not ever run out of the little red ones!



But DO remember:

You cannot UN-take the little red one!!



These little red ones

keep the monsters in THEIR cave!!

...and keep THEM out of MY cave!!



& there’s no room in here

for the both of both of me.

(Yes.  There are four, at least).

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Red pills in their amber bottle seem grey;  how appropriate for what they do to the psyche.

Good morning my friend

Finally found a minute to myself. Just thought I would visit you and see if I saw anything marked new. I ran across this title and decided to take a look.

I have never had to take anything for depression but sometimes I think the little red pill might be of help. It is so hard sometimes to believe that things will work out.

Watch for me to again start writing. My mom leaves for home tomorrow.

Have a great day.
Love,
Lesa

Interesting read. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) I am not familiar with the little red pills, Sounds like they cure what ails you.
