BETA BLOCKERS (poem)

I would like to share my poem entitled, “ Beta Blockers”.   Anyone with high blood pressure is supposed to take a Beta Blocker.  However, this poem is definitely not about high blood pressure! Please enjoy!

BETA BLOCKERS ARE PRESCRIBED BY DOCTORS

TWENTY-FIVE, FIFTY, SEVENTY-FIVE MILLIGRAMS WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE

WELL TONIGHT,  I PLAN ON TAKING 205

THEN MAYBE, JUST MAYBE  IT COULD 

BLOCK THE PAIN

I SAW HER AND HIM IN HIS CAR

AND THEN

 BLOCK THE SHAME

I USED TO BE THAT MAN’S NUMBER ONE STAR

AND THEN BLOCK THE LOSS

I LOST EVERYTHING I OWNED

AND THEN BLOCK THE COST

MY CAR, MY JOB, MY HOUSE, MY HOME

IN MY CASKET NO TRADITIONAL WHITE DOVE

BECAUSE  THE DRUG THAT I OVERDOSED ON IS A DRUG CALLED LOVE

I WILL FALL DEEP INTO A SLEEP AND I WILL FEEL THIS PAIN NO MORE

BETA BLOCKERS IN MY HAND HERE I GO BUT WAIT

I HEAR A KNOCK AT MY BEDROOM DOOR

TWO BEAUTIFUL ,  HANDSOME  YOUNG MEN SAYING “ MOMMY WE HEARD YOU CRYING ARE YOU OKAY?”

DANG, I JUST REALIZED FOR THEM I HAVE TO LIVE THROUGH THIS HELL CALLED LIFE TO FACE IT FOR JUST ANOTHER DAY

BETA BLOCKERS

-Danica 

If you truly desire to be effective in anything you accomplish in life,  being transparent is the only way to become relatable to individuals.  I wrote this poem a couple days after the day I was going   to commit suicide some years back.  I often inform my readers to “keep it moving!” This phrase is not just a mere cliche for me, but it was exactly what got me through the toughest time in my life.  

When we realize that life has  its season and we are to learn from that season and move to the next for ourselves as well as others, nothing is impossible to get through.  I often think of the many people who never made it to the next season!  The only reason was just simply because they never knew the secret  to their season.  Certainly I learned the only true secret for overcoming through a fall or winter season  is time and God! Love you much and keep it moving until next time.
