My throat catches a I try to speak
My heart races,
My body feels heavy,
Like my feet are sinking into the ground
The world suddenly spins around,
I feel myself about to go down…
I gasp for air
Like I'm drowning
I try to surface the darkness for air.
It feels like the blood,
Is being dripped from my veins.
My body falls weak,
And I have to lay down
Or pray to the sky,
That I don't fall down.
Stupid little white tablets,
How they fill me with dread,
They're worse than fainting,
They tear me to shreds.
The ground feels uneven,
Though perfectly flat,
Sometimes there is no strength
To bother to fight back.
So I stare at the ceiling,
And let the shadows pull me down
Or I take the pills
That are white and round.
i get anemic very often and have yet to pinpoint the reason aside from possibly improper nutrition. the last time it was bad enough that i started fainting and the doctor put me on a double dose. im suppose to have a supplement everyday but the iron pills make me very ill. i try to make it up with multivitamines instead. i actually get very anxious when i have to take iron pills and would rather suffer from the anemia side effects than the iron pills

I know exactly what you mean. The pills make me feel so ill and almost lethargic. I hate them, but I need them. >.<
