Hi, I’m your little secret side effect,
You won’t notice me coming along.
I’ll be in your head right after that pill,
I’ll make you feel weak if you’re strong.
I’m often the drowsy, sniffing and dizzy,
Sometimes a full blown migraine.
And I can make you do psychotic little things,
Sometimes I make you insane.
My favourite type of me is the simple gut ache,
And a beautiful red rash on your chest.
And while your body is being fixed with this pill,
I’ll leave you feeling depressed.
I’m your side effect, your reaction, your body’s rejection,
To the drugs you take for your health.
And I’m always on the lookout to strike you right down,
I’m always hunting by stealth.
