Medicine

I think I have forgotten

What it means to be human

I failed to swim in this air,

Drowning in oxygen that slowly rusts my lungs

If I continue to take my medicine

Will I lose the scars?

Will I gain the weight I need?

Will I make enough money, pay my rent, get married, have kids, win world war 3, and die with no regrets?

Don’t worry,

I took my medicine today.
