Dear God my 50 Aspirin

By Maxxine

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

THIS is not the end of the world... .  It JUST FEELS LIKE IT. And even if I WANT to take 50 extra strength Aspirin to ease the pain, I know, later where ever I end up, MAYBE, I will regret it, so I guess, I better not. THIS is not the end of the world... .  It's just the straw that broke the camel's back. I can handle this set back.  I can deal with pain, just PLEASE, dear God make these wretched water balls coming from my eyes DISCONTINUE. .    I can handle the pressure, I can deal with stress, just PLEASE, dear God make this throbbing pain behind my forehead go the fuck away. .    I can handle, I can handle, .    I can handle, I can handle, .    I can handle, I can handle, .    I can deal with these wretched tears, I can make up my faded smile. .    Just PLEASE, dear God, make these 50 aspirin my finest. .      Just PLEASE, dear God, make this the last time it feels like the end of my world and .      P L E A S E!      DEAR  GOD - make these wretched tears stop brimming over, stop flowing freely,   stop burning down my reddened cheeks. .    IcanhandleIcanhandleIcanhandleI can... I can do no more but beg for my finish, dear God, my finish?  Dear god, no one has admitted me yet, Dear God- why don't you make them? .        This is not the end of my world, .    It just feels like it. How many aspirin do I have to take to get your attention? Written October 6th, 2001 © on Oct 06 2001 01:46 PM PST   10 • 0 • 1
