I Don’t Want to Take My Medicine

~ tayslowe

8I don’t want to take
my medicine.

I want to be able
to choose for myself
whether I’m frightened
or not.

But every hour
asks me,
‘do you think you need
your drug?’

It’s weakness,
that little orange bottle,
filled with
sedatives.

I want to be strong.
Normal.
Have a chance to be proud.

Not dependent on
tiny white pills.

I don’t want to take
my medicine.

But my body doesn’t care.

I'm an author. That means I write stuff. Fo shizzle. I used to be outgoing, but now that I'm happily married and domesticated I'm sort of done with that. Sooo....yeah.
