Pill Of Silence Poem by Nicola (IG Nicola_JustMe) Pillai

Pill of Silence' is a satirical poem that critiques the societal approach to women's mental health issues, especially during hormonal imbalances. The poem follows a woman's frustrating journey as she seeks help for her mental health, only to be offered antidepressants as a quick fix. It highlights the lack of open discussion and understanding around these struggles, emphasizing how women are often expected to quietly endure or medicate away their pain. Through biting humor, the poem underscores the absurdity of silencing emotional turmoil with pills rather than addressing the underlying issues and fostering meaningful conversations.)
