Floating on a cloud, towards oblivion.

Gradually, my brain begins to slow.

My thoughts are generally a jumbled up mess!

Instead, clear decipherable thoughts flow.

What can I accomplish with enhanced clarity?

What can I do when I can actually focus?

Write. I can write write write…

This stuff works like hocus-pocus!

It’s the only thing that touches the pain.

Clearly the biggest benefit I know!

Also, my “high” poems are often the good ones!

I don’t over-analyze, the words just flow.

I’m filled with creativity and ideas,

And, yes, they’re usually the better ones!

Also, I’m confident in what I come up with!

I don’t question myself, tons!

There is a negative side of course;

That is, for me, inside I’m confident and assured,

However, on the outside I get a bit anxious,

Mainly about getting judged and measured,

This is generally from those who are “against,”

My choice in medications!

The uneducated people get me incensed!

Don’t spout your mouth off,

If you don’t know what you’re talking about!!

Don’t think it makes you better than me,

Your ignorance does not get you clout!!

The other negative side effect, for me is…

My memory!! It is horrid while I’m “medicated!!”

For once, my hubby says, it’s worse than his!

So that’s where it takes me,

That’s all it does, both the good and the bad

But anything that even puts a little dent in my pain,

I’m keeping; regardless of those who may get mad!!
