PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

i forgot to take my medicine

five little pills

how big a role they play

my thoughts are solemn

demeanor depressed

and my writing is shit today

i tried to socialize

smile and laugh

make the most of my little mistake

i wish i didn't have to eat

these little pills i have to take

buspar for anxiety

propranolol for the shakes

venlafaxine hydrochloride

to keep the sad away

seroquel, my favorite!

keeps the schizophrenia at bay!

naltrexone for addiction,

i should probably be taking more

of these happy little pharmaceuticals

from the happy little pharmaceutical store!

"let's stop taking them!"

says the chaotic-evil goblin

living inside my head

"we don't need them anymore!"

i think he wants me dead...

i used to take risperidone 

and decided to take a break

"i'm all better now!"

i thought

now that was a mistake!

funny how i never had

a problem taking drugs

as long as they were illegal

like those pretty little green nugs!

but tell me that i have to

that it's a matter of life and death

and i'll tell you to piss up a rope

cause that advice was wasted breath...

but now, a little older,

i find myself to be

tired of the consequences

of my stupidity

so i take them as prescribed

and take them happily
