I don't want a pill to make me happy,
To take my sorrow away.
Don't want an artificial rush
Just to get me through the day.

I don't want a pill to change me
Because I don't know the real me.
Every day I look in the mirror
Without knowing what I see.

I don't want a pill to make me smile,
When I really want to cry.
Don't need a pill to chain me down
When I just want to fly.

I want to feel everything in my heart,
Every ache, and every thrill.
I don't want to fake it anymore.
I don't want a pill.

I've heard that antidepressants really suck. I took some medicine for my ADD but it actually made me feel much better. I was able to focus so much better that it felt like time was slowing down. I think I took an antidepressant at one point too and it made me feel like crap. Good job on this poem, I like it.
