'RX'


I do believe in therapy,

but of a certain kind

The type anointed on oneself,

and in yourself to find

A strength to make decisions,

the will to see them through

To best ignore what others say,

while benefiting you

These words are not capricious,

recovery zero-sum

With judgment not to praise or blame

—its cure the only one
