“If you keep only healthy food in your cupboard and fridge, you will eat good food.” – Errick McAdams
“You need a steroid to fix your ills.
Now vaccination to ward off winter chills.
Take an antidepressant, to calm your woes.
Let’s try antibiotics and see how it goes.
A short run of oxycodone to ease any pain.
Eating salt and acidy food you must refrain.
We will give you antacids just in case,
And a full range of vitamins, food to replace.
Eat nothing with Gluten or carbohydrate.
We’ll give you a pill to lower your heart rate.
A bevy of sprays to help you breathe.
A mood stabilizer if you begin to seethe.
There’s nothing else before you run out of money.
Make sure you call if you begin to feel funny.
Your health will soon be at its highest peak.
Make an appointment to see me in a week.”
"How uplifting it feels to be given such care.
Knowing my specialist has it all right there.
And silly me was considering healthy living.
Fresh air, good food and exercise, such a misgiving !!"

The gloss of Great Things of allure
A young heart continues to lure
But poor efforts bar through failure,
Hardworking farmers no manure,
Not a lot of The Tried secure;
From them distanced fertilizer
Otherwise The Stabilizer…
The grandeur of Things of Allure
Makes one unpleasant risks incur,
Cries of “Oh! my God!” reoccur,
One is some leg bitten by a cur
One: a freezing body, no fur!
Yes: pearl, ruby, emerald, gold:
All that we gaze at Hands unfold.

A praised righteousness is made to end,
Twelve swear to not again money lend,
The First, to often penury pretend,
The Second, to always for himself fend,
The Third, not even his next of kin tend,
The Fourth, starvation of beggars shall extend,
The Fifth, a dying visitor back home send,
The Sixth with all market prices contend,
The Seventh, to philanthropy never bend,
The Eighth, marrying a poor doesn’t intend,
The Ninth, garments of old debtors rend,
The Tenth, on redeemed debts depend,
The Eleventh, never his wife’s sandals mend,
The Twelfth, a promised church building suspend!
A lender who turns a miser,
Has smelt the odds in not being wiser,
Not a dime releasing, wealth stabilizer.

So they want a pretty poem
Well those, I do not know them
I see things in a different view
If you've read mine, you already knew
Have a tendency to see things dark
My life, has left it's mark
So doc said I need a mood stabilizer
For my mind a mental stabilizer
He knows nothing of me
What makes him think he can see
Gets his diagnosis from books
I get mine from actions and looks
So I should respect his knowledge
Oh, because he went to college
Well surprise, so did I
Didn't make it, didn't even try
I'm easily distracted
On thoughts so easily acted

The whirlwind inside is mean and awful,
Telling me I’m bad and will always be.
It takes away faith,
Won’t let me believe I can be happy, and
Reminds me of every mistake I ever make.
It likes when I’m afraid,
Don’t take my mood stabilizer.
Is happy when I hate myself.
It says everything is my fault and that’s true.
When I cut myself the whirlwind stops.

I ask you: is there ever a time
when a woman is just a woman?
She is a mother, sister, lover,
giver of life, and the Queen of hearts.
She's the Yin that balances the Yang,
a partner, and the voice of reason.
And she's often both the catalyst
and the stabilizer men desire.
She's a subtle negotiator;
an Angel with a soul and conscience.
And the weaver that bonds families
tightly together with threads of love.
She is a kitten with her children;
yet a tigress when protecting them.
So, I ask, is there ever a time
when a woman is just a woman?

The mood stabilizer, and
Crushed air.
The hurt of thoughts, for
Our songs of care.
But,
I’m so happy, because
Today, I found my friends,
They’re in my head. And
I’m not gonna crack.
Swiftly now,
Through our veins
It swims.
Anti-depressants,
…Our favorite sins.
Sing and dance, for
Worries have no control.
The drug, the contents, that
We behold.

Substrate channeling, now wading through cellular river
Patches, by God, the sight! The sight! In-diving dream stabilizer
Atrophying now in the nebula; Pilfering the idea controls; the singular vastness!
Computations aloft and asunder the dwelling of our being like wrinkled raisins under roping
Elephants; church bells a-tolling; Lincoln Logs a-rolling; turn the ship we would, if we could.
