A Poem by therisa
"

Having a hypersensitive body.

"
Does a body exist
Which isn't sensitive
To everything
Around it?
 
Able to take a med
Without worrying
About side-effects
Or negative interactions
With other meds.
 
Especially
SSRI or SNRI
For treating
My mental health concerns.
 
Taking public transit
Without having a asthma attack
Or becoming nausea
From the different smells
Around me.
 
Else
Forced to suffer
In silence
As my apartment building's interior
Is painted with Latex paint.
 
Not sure
Which is worse
My migraines
Or the latex fumes headaches.
 
Having to carry around
A walking pharmacy
Every time
I leave my apartment.
 
Just once
I want to stop
and smell every flower
Without worrying
About any possible allergies.
 
Else
Being stung
By a wasp or a hornet.
 
Softly sighing
One can dream.
