A day without my meds is a day without sanity

Every passing phrase sparks in me animosity

Each strike of a clock only sends me on high wire

The fire in my heart leaves so much to desire

My hands are violently shaking and my breath is so short

Every little comment, I have a seething retort

If it were not for all of them, I know I'd lose my head

I would scream from my angry lungs 'I wish I were dead'

But they keep me cautious and calm and firmly hold my hand

They tell me to fall back and they'll catch me when I land

And so time slowly passes by or hours in this case

I am given my meds and I finally feel safe
