Drunk Drug

Acetaminophen

I rarely take it anymore

Unless I am in severe pain

Or a high-grade fever

But in the past, I relied on it to get through my headaches

Eight is the unlucky number

But lucky in my culture

My friend gifted me a whole pack out of kindness

And there was once

A dark, very dark time

I was in severe pain

Not physically, but mentally

I stared at that blister pack 

Eight. Just take eight.

And hopefully it all ends

I am grateful I did not give in

Alcohol

Metabolised

Acetaldehyde

Something I turn to when I feel stressed

Know my limits

And do not mix the two

Seek a healthier alternative for the sake of my body

Please?
