ILL & SICK, THE PILL I SEEK

 

Despite my deep insight, I still have no answer in sight. My insight has been beclouded by my ‘sorry’ plight. All this while, I have defied the wiles of nature, searching miles across the Nile, for a pill to make me smile. 

In true reflection, I know I am not in a state of perfection.

My attention has been in constant deflection from normalcy and my reasoning is in a state of defection.

Though the body is bright for a fight, my spirit is weakened by the fright of my gory plight.

I have been over hills on bare heels, in search of a cure for my ills. I know I am sick and I seek a pill to make me heal.

I have stared outward into the blind but failed to stir inward into my mind. I have looked before and behind but failed to look beside. I am ill and sick but the pill I seek is YOU.

YOU are the pill to remove the blight in my plight, to shed light upon my insight, to make my foresight bright and to bring me the delight for that smile I so much desire. YOU are God.
