Flood

About taking antidepressants not for yourself, but to keep others around by making yourself more tolerable.

I’ll flood my brain with medication

So you’ll stay and be a patron

Heal the brain

To cease the pain

Of no one wanting to stay

Help myself

Regain my health 

For a heartfelt return

Only healing can earn

Let’s try then

Author's Note

Debating on taking the last line out but I'm not sure. Either that or change it.

Also had to make an edit since spellcheck likes to automatically swap words. Makes a lot of stuff not make sense.

Keep the last line! I like this, it's short and to the point, and reflects meaning in a relatively short amount of time (something I fail to do, so you've earned my respect!) Since it appears you like rhyming, have you ever tried sonnets? something tells me you'd be good at them. They're a bit difficult to pick up at first but you'd get the hang of it. Good job! A bit longer wouldn't have hurt though. Perhaps letting the reader explore a little more what the subject is feeling? Other than that, fantastic. Keep it up!
