I Took This Pill

And it changed my life

We swallow pills all day long. What matters most is what kind of pills we are ingesting…(Image created by Author using AI Canva)

I used to swallow
the tears of others —
drowning
in Fear’s
toxic stream

Bitter pills served on a table
of Guilt and Shame
no longer gain
access to me

Now…
I watch the steady course
of Blame
dished out
(with Costco-sized portions),
and keep walking

For the Magic Pellet
I ingest each day
arrives from a place
immune to
Earthbound capsules —
ridden with pain

A place sourced
from within,
an apothecary
formed of
soul
and
spirit
