I Took This Pill
And it changed my life
Published in

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
