I never liked taking pills
and your Love is a bitter one
I cannot swallow
lies of any color or size
and the ones you hold out
for me will never slide
down into my reality
so take your bitter pill
and swallow it yourself
for I am not ill
and have no need of it.

Excellent Kacy!
A bitter pill is very hard to swallow.

Good write.....(I never liked taking pills either)......I used to take all kinds...all at the same time....now I just eat a handful of pain pills every morning.....(Just in case I should get hurt later in the day though....Preventive medicine of course)...

Thanks for the Heimlich help. I sometimes need to cough up a bitter pill from the past that got stuck. I'm feeling so much better now.
Toe? Cough'em up now, you know you will feel better if you write out the pain.

Kacy,
Some things should never be choked down! Good job.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

I never met a pill I didn't like (and ya know they come in lollipops now, too...lol), but think I'll pass on this one. Even a spoonful of sugar can't coat some things.

(big hugggssssss) Oh Kacy, I too would never wan to have to wash it down, it should be ones own dilemma and supplement to do so! (sigh) This is touching, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kacy, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Reminds me of a song by Pink. Isn't it interesting how something once so sweet can turn too bitter to swallow?

LOL at some of your replies. I'm glad we could have some laughter and fun with this one.
Mark, I'd PAY to hear your imitation of Austin Powers.
