a little blue pill for anxiety
until it no longer works
switch to a little white pill
than for good measure back to blue
a pink pill is for panic
every day creates a need
benzonatate will stop
a non-productive cough
mucinex to keep coughing
when it is productive
antibiotics for the infections
kill the good bacteria within
swishing some nystatin
will bring it back again
advair inhalers
will open up the airways
aciphex blankets the acid
created by all this medicine
and a steroid reduces inflammation
while creating unbearable stress
requiring

a little blue for anxiety.....
