My Current Obsession by M S from East Sussex
I’m writing this poem,
To help me explain,
How PD medication,
Has effected my brain.
I need medication,
To keep my symptoms at bay,
But it’s making behave,
In an uncontrolled way.
I can buy many things,
I already possess,
If I try something new,
I start to obsess.
It started the day,
I read my old poem,
I’d write just one more,
But I’ve just kept on going.
There’s only one way,
I can write and can see,
All of the words ,
That keep coming to me.
I must use the words,
To tell a story that rhymes,
Use a number of verses,
That all have four lines.
I just know to write quickly,
And the words seem to flow,
How this all happens,
I’m not sure that I know.
I woke early this morning,
Pointless knowing the time,
These words were all with me.
They just needed to rhyme.
This may be the day,
I may like it or not,
That after this poem,
My brain tells me to STOP.
