Take Your Joy
Open wide and shove it in
Gulp it down
And force a grin
Take your joy
They laugh at me
Expecting me to be
Anyone else but Zee
Take your joy
And ask no questions
Side effects give no direction
Lost between the light & darkness
Here comes a frown,
Oh no, she needs another now
Never lasting long enough
This joy is just really a bluff
Gulp it down
And force a grin
Take your joy
They laugh at me
Expecting me to be
Anyone else but Zee
Take your joy
And ask no questions
Side effects give no direction
Lost between the light & darkness
Here comes a frown,
Oh no, she needs another now
Never lasting long enough
This joy is just really a bluff

Dear D,
This is intense. You’ve captured, for me, the essence of medicine head and the come down when meds wear off. Never mind the expectations of drs thinking a pill makes everything happy and all better. Very real and excellent write! H🌷
