The doctor

Dear doctor, I’d like to tell you
that I’m quite alright
the pills seem to work and once again
the mornings are bearable

every time I wake up
I lay still and wait for it to come
but the darkness doesn’t
sink in anymore

dear doctor, I haven’t lost any weight this time
and even when the sun shines
it doesn’t burn my life away

And of course we don’t know
how long it lasts this time
but that doesn’t matter
cause I’m breathing again
