That sense of peace and wellbeing
could well be due to the drugs that
you're taking.

the non-prescribed variety only lead
you down the road to anxiety
be like me (now)
and say no.

if you've read the contra-indications on
some of those medications!
would you still take?

I take
cinder-water for the stomach ache
and
a cold compress for a headache
anything else
and I grin and bear it
swear a lot
and get over it
unless it's serious
and then I cry.
