Antidote to Suppression

Diagnosed with an illness

In just a matter of minutes

Suddenly, I was told, here, hang on,

Take this, once, twice, or three times a day if you need to

Recognizing the name of the drug on the streets

Advocating for myself and for the others given this very same sheet

Coping less and less, ceasing to resist,

Telling myself, go ahead, trust in the process of this

In only a short span of time, a matter of months really

One pill turned into two, then two into a few, and well

Next thing you know, I am the one calling the code blue
