"Just take this pill"

"Just take this pill," the doctor says. It will relieve your pain. But how can a tiny tablet Mend the fractures of my mind? I swallow it down, hoping for solace. But the ache remains, a persistent throb. The pill dissolves, leaving me hollow. A temporary fix for a permanent storm. The doctor's words echo in my ears. "Just take this pill," a simple solution. But the battle rages on within me. And the pill can only do so much. So I search for healing beyond the pill, In the embrace of understanding and empathy. For the pain caused by mental health Cannot be numbed by a mere tablet.
