What I really, really, need
Is for this medicine to work
All the way
Instantly
It won't though
These things take time
I know that
What I really, really, need
Is to take a week or two
Off from work
Right now
but, I can't
what I really, really, need
Is to just be well
Again
And, to have some more
Patience
Because, it's coming
I know it is
What I really, really, need
is to say
I'm sorry
For that last ranting poem
I do need someone
In those ways
but, it's the way
I present things
no one could have known
that I was going to feel
this bad
what I really, really, need
is to just ride this roller-coaster
without gripping the bar so hard
that my knuckles
turn white
what I really really need
is just to relax
everything will be ok
in just a few more days
I just hope
it doesn't get worse
before it gets better...
