Baby I'm yo Medicine....

I'll admit it....I'm guilty. I'll go to the doctor get medicine for a sickness and never finish the bottle. And not only do I never finish the bottle, but I use the medicine again should the pain, allergy, whatever return again. I have some 400mg Ibuprofen in my arsenal (not to be confused with my system) right now actually! Or even better: I'll look up the medicine you need or even just go into the store and peruse the pills by symptom and get what "fixes" the issue. And I KNOW I'm not the only one...that's half of the reason I could so readily admit I do it lol.

"Everyone"("" cause I don't like speaking in absolutes) reuses old prescriptions and "expired" prescriptions (cause can pills really expire?? If they can I don't wanna know, lol) and went for the knockoffs when they know what they need but don't have the prescription for it...while doctors will tell us it's healthier to get the prescription and it's safer and all that stuff....generally 'why pay extra/this is kinda expensive' are the mindsets that counter these thoughts


The Transition...

"Relationships (friendships, cakeships, smashships) are medicine to the soul...getting the prescription right is crucial."

I wanna say "in this day and age" SOO badly, but I shall refrain. Either way the way relationships work in the social environment I find myself living "next to" (I don't support it, so I can't say I'm a part of it) anyways....the social environment I find myself living next to is one that has a "treat the symptoms" mentality.

The difference between taking over-the-counter medicine for something you usually get prescriptions for is:

• it's normally not as strong as the prescription
• the "knock off" oftentimes isn't catered to the sickness and therefore you're only treating the syptoms

This same methodology gets applied to relationships. A lot of people go for whatever is easiest, but not necessarily the best for what's truly desired.

So the prescription that is a committed relationship is replaced with friends with benefits and smash buddies and ex's and over-the-counter fixes such as those...but they are temporary.

I was gonna expound further on this, but I'm sleepy at the moment......

The Rebirth of an Outlet

Ok, so when I started this joint I was just gonna post poems on it and call it a day after that... but then I only posted once every blue moon. I figure if I'd rather share my thoughts with the world and do this on a regular basis and see if people are interested in what I have to say.

I say all that to say: I'm back!!! and this time you're gonna hear my thoughts...the shits I normally liked to keep hidden away from public access.

Prepare to catch the revelations of......The Subjectless King.

Time

Can I have a second of your time?
Can you make it a little more and put me on your mind?
Can I dwell in your thoughts, or just the in between?
Such a glancing thought would mean the world to me
I just want to feel like I'm worth the time
Cause if I could I'd give you all of mine
Can you pick up the phone and just text "hi" to me?
Or even one that says "I'm kinda busy"?
Something to remind me it's more than just words
Cans I have actions to match what I heard?
You're busy and stay on the move
Well can you pencil me into your schedule?
You can't stop much and really, that's fine
All I'm asking for is a little of your time.
