A Hug

Why do you keep doing this to me? 

I don't need what you're doing. 

But still you keep pestering and pursuing. 

Why won't you stop? 

It's obviously not doing any good. 

Yet you still think you're bringing me to the top, 

But instead you're doing only what you think you should... 

 

You're going at this all wrong. 

You don't seem to realize that when you try to make it last long 

You'll never visualize what it really means to help someone. 

To hold there hand and to hold it close. 

To hold it even when there done. 

To help them through the fear that flows. 

 

You keep yelling and aiming 

The thoughts that you think will help at me. 

You stand there listing and naming 

All the things that'll just bring me to my knees. 

You keep walking over what I really need like a rug, 

And don't seem to see that what that is is all but a hug. 

 

A hug and some love can go a long way, 

But all you think will help are drugs and a pill. 

You force them to me day by day 

All while lowering my will. 

You tell me to keep on fighting, 

That one day I'll be better, 

To stay strong and keep smiling. 

That these things don't last forever. 

 

Who knew that someone as you could be so stupid. 

Someone I always thought would help me through this. 

Everything you're doing is making me ruined. 

When I try and find myself you only dismiss 

Laughing in my face at an attempt for my cure. 

And all you do is act selfish and smug 

Saying that in no time I'll finally feel secure, 

But what'll really help is all but a hug. 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Some people don't realize that it doesn't take drugs or medication to feel better (depending on what's wrong and who that person is). Being able to feel better is different with everyone so people shouldn't try to force their way on someone else, it might just make them worse. What you think will help them are pills and medication but what'll really help is just a hug and some love.

Heartfelt poem, Vallentiel.

Heartfelt poem, Vallenteil. In this day and age, big pharma is such a large part of our economic growth that like many other things, (our educational syatems, our government, and medical systems) it has swallowed us in whole. It's become so bad, that even many medical professionals themselves trample upon patient rights to pacify a person who speaks their mind, not realizing that it is not their job to so in 99.9% of these cases. I am a nurse and I spend much of my time apologizing to my patients for this over-zealous behavior that so many feel justified in within my profession. 

 

I would also like to share with you at this point that, though I do not know your situation or know you, there were two separate occasions in my own life where I benefitted from the short term use of antidepressants, however---much different for a nurse, who knows the proper use of them to get the best response, than a lay person who knows very little and is bamboozled by a system run rampant, which is why I share. I am not one to say that drugs are not needed at all and that they have no worthy benefit, but the what is lacking is consumer education. How this happened with our society was through the swift discoveries of penicillin and other antibiotics that pulled a huge veil over the public's eyes in the mid 1900s. Many diseases at that time, previously thought to be 'death warrants' were wiped off the map, whereby placing modern day physicians on a pedestal as a 'god', controlled by the puppeteers who work in big pharma. We in the profession are trying desperately to find the balance needed ever since, but we can not do it alone---we need the public to educate themselves because as you can see just by this comment, educating patients is time consuming, and not even possible in many situations for nurses and doctors. Infromation is readily available, and patients continue to walk 'blind-eyed' into taking medications where had they known of the side effects, they never would have taken them...to top it off, we have an even larger part of society of litigation lawyers and money-grubbing consumers who are eager to take the medications because they are used to a quick fix. They figure, "if it doesn't work, I'll sue!"---and they get away with this.

 

For the average person going through a depressive state, drugs are usually not needed. On the other hand, I am a huge advocate of psychotherapy, which is what most medications were, in fact, developed for. People become highly irate, and sometimes even violent when they have to discuss past trauma---medication makes it possible for them to bear their soul to another person so that they can rehash unresolved and sometimes even repressed issues that have been causing negative behavior patterns in their lives from old childhood schemas, and clear the blockages that allow free flowing 'chi' through their bodies, and many live longer, more physically healthy lives by doing so....but the statistics are still very few for lack of this vital education.

 

What ever you choose, I wish you a great amount of determination and strength---because their is untold ignorance surrounding this subject---but I wanted to tell you my story as to give you a chance NOT to 'cut off your nose to spite your face'. I have reaped untold benefits spiritually, physically, and in mny many other ways by learning about these drugs and how they are MEANT to be used.Should you decide to take them, I would advise complimentary medical modalities as well such as reiki, massage therapy, exercise, meditation, imagery, and even essential oils and vitamins in conjunction. 

 

I wish you all the joy your beautiful heart can hold.

And I wish you ~peace~

 

Thank you for this lovely poem and allowing me an opportunity to share this much needed information. 

 

As read the poem a second time, I see it may be about someone offering street drugs to you. That is an entirely different dangerous situation that needs to be made serious---however shocking it may be for whoever is harrassing you. YOU are the only one that can do it.

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

Thank you for that

Thank you for that information. That's excactly what I'm talking about. Depend on the person and who they are is what they need but some people take medication too far and use it when they really don't need to or use meth and all that other stuff.

 

Lol no street drugs >w<

 

My best friend and I have people in our lives telling us that we need to take medication for the things that are "wrong" with us but there really isn't...sometimes. And now we're starting to think that something might actually be wrong. :/ But I know there really isn't.

Thanks and I am glad I could

Thanks and I am glad I could post this. It was time consuming but worth it to share. I hope your friend will be doing better and omg...soooooo glad it is not the 'dirty' drugs we are discussing here. That just makes things so much more a mess! Just take your time, be informed, and if you go to a therapist make sure they are very ethical and professional. Some of these 'peer group' programs going around are really not all that wonderful. Others are very good and have awesome oversight. Also, if the therapist nd shrink are professional and ethical, they WANT to see you do well and get off the meds at the appropriate time and will work towards doing everything they can and help you get off them when it is the right time. Be skeptical not only with others, but with your own judgements of yourself. I wish you 100% recovery. I know it is possible. I believe in the system when the system is able to do things in a professional and ethical way, and the patient is willing to be their own healer. 'God Bless Vallentiel'... Much metta.
