pounding

they are back
these headaches
stupid meds
take your pick
forty extra pounds
no thanks
blood tests
every six weeks
fatal rash
diabetes
loss of pleasure
sex, no desire
food, can't eat
life, what life?
those cute little commercials
that little egg
take this pill
and you'll be happy!
oh yeah but
you'll sleep all day
i chose
the blue pill
after twenty failures
and now
i think
my head
will
explode
