Sick Again...Part Deux

Picking my head up
From off my desk
Reaching for the bottle
A bitter pill to swallow
My memory's eraser
Found in different flavors
What will it be tonight
Saying no gets harder
Saying yes is a trigger
If only there was
A better answer
Favorite poison of mine

I like...

the way that you capitalized each line and left no punctuation. It felt like each line was a statement unto itself! It made it feel even more powerful. Great stuff! ~ Geez.

Sometimes

I feel like punctuation interrupts the flow and other times it seems to bring something to the poem. Glad you enjoyed. This has been a fun challenge.
