Happy Pills Poem by Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi

They are five
they help me ride
the toughest waves
in oceans wild

They make me tough
for life is rough
and I was born
with skin not hide

they help me face
the life with grace
so I don't fail
in this rat race

I know I am behind
from the rest of my kind
so no one holds my hands
they are in a different place and time

But my best five friends
are always there by my side
to help me deal with things
in my own sweet time...
