give me the white sugar pill

pills do not go down

well with me.

vitamin C, makes me queasy.

amoxicillin

and i'm

in a daze.

Ibuprofen makes me sneeze,

i can hardly breathe,

as i sweat and itch the rash

it gives me.

aspirin

closes my throat,

squeezes my lungs.

I'm dotted red with Bactrim.

Zinc and Magnesium

make my stomach churn.

there's not a pill out there

that doesn't make

me sicker than i already am.

give me a placebo, if you

really want to help me, if you

really are my friend.
