My Tablets Poem by Donna Saphier

My daily routine is tablets
I take them all the time
But I haven't got a clue
What's wrong with this body of mine

I don't care to think why I take them
In fact, I do not know
I just know at certain time's
My tablets have to go

Tablets in the morning
Tablets too at lunch
I don't take one or two
I take quite a large bunch

Tablet's at tea-time
And also at night
They must be doing something
Because I'm feeling alright

Taking all these tablets
Really get's me down
I never do look happy
I always wear a frown

If I stop taking all these pills
I'm curious to see
What was going to happen
And would it frighten me

I started on a low dose
Now there's so much more
What if I don't take them
Would I end up on the floor

I'm scared to know what's wrong with me
And the doctor's not too sure
I just know there's a lot of pain
And I don't want to know any more

So still I take my tablets
If they're gonna keep me well
But I don't know how long for
And the doctor just won't tell
