Medicine, Medicines and More Medicines

by Victoria Antonello

To be honest doc, I’m just so tired of feeling sick doc

Well your numbers look fine, and the guidelines say it’s time

to add medicine, medicines and more medicines.

Well doc, they said that medicine was out of stock doc

So, you didn’t get it, and you didn’t take

your medicine, medicines and more medicines?

Doc I just can’t keep up, I can’t seem to catch a break –

Okay, but it’s very important that you take

your medicine, medicines and more medicines

Doc, I don’t think they’re working, in fact I feel way worse –

Well this is a chronic problem, there’s no way to reverse

Your only option is medicine, medicines and more medicines.

But doc, I hate taking these pills, I honestly feel so ill –

These medicines are keeping you alive, just give it time

and don’t stop taking

your medicine, medicines and more medicines.

But why aren’t they working? Why do I feel so sick doc?

Don’t lose hope, why don’t we go up on the dose

and I’ll refill your medicine, medicines and more medicines.

But I don’t think I’ll make it, I really just can’t take it –

I’ll see you in 3 months, I know it can be tough

but it’s really important that you take

your medicine, medicines and more medicines.
