Codeine is no fun at all...

Desperately Seeking Sanity

It’s like looking around for someone who isn’t you
It seems easy at first but if only you knew
If only you could see
How hard it is to be
Completely in touch with our frail reality
Things that make sense
And things that don’t quite
All conspire against you just out of your sight
And its alright in theory
That I can’t hear clearly
Some sounds that originate nearer than near me
Like not behind the plaster
But the mind behind the master
Tormenting me who meant to be
The one who thought faster.
So now my ears betray me,
The codeine got me thinking all these girls wanna lay me
That the world’s gone crazy
And its not me
My brain don’t have no sense but its got me
He was crazy in his cage until he got free.


Description:
-I got whooping cough to close out the year. It hurt.
-I got codeine and zithromax to close out the pertussis (another name for it). It gave hope.
-I took 10 days worth of codeine in about two days. It made me sick.
-Nobody bothered to check on the interactions between my extensive list of medications and opiate based cough medicine. I went crazy
