new meds
groggy
like the fog reached
beyond the river
into my mind
sleepy
like the world is resting
on my eyelids
pushing them down
spacey
like the room is zoomed out
& out of focus
no matter how much i blink
disoriented
like the floor is slanted
walking sideways up the walls
trying to watch my footing

Wonderful poem, but oh, how I wish you didn’t have to feel off-kilter.
I think a lot of us will think, “wait, you’re on that, too?”
For me it’s Claritan.
Great form to this poem. Hope your body adjusts.
Walking sideways up the walls! What an effective to describe disorientation from
new meds. Nice poem.
