I wrote this piece once Doctors smoke I put it up on poetry.com But they took it down They would There are doctors who smoke The drinking culture at Kings Was obscene There was this one girl A student Who used to make herself Sick Just so she could drink more But the ones who smoke They know the negatives of smoking But there are positives of smoking too Believe it or not I’ve looked them up I used to smoke American Spirit As it doesn’t contain chemicals The real killers It kept me in tune With the native Americans And the rituals associated with smoking So I’m in Agios Nikolaos In a waiting room With my boyfriend Who has just had an ECG Which is normal So we’re waiting to see the doctor Diabetes type II Which I did a presentation on During my Access course to Medicine And another one at Kings Sleep Apnoea FND High blood pressure Anti depressant withdrawal syndrome Due to Venlafaxine Do you know how it feels To be me? Do I know how it feels To be you? I do try to understand Yes there’s the method acting But there are also my senses And my gifts I wanted to work in A&E And/or research medications Because most of them are terrible With dire side effects Treat the cause Not the symptom Like most western medics do You need to look at your health overall Tongue analysis Heart rate Nutrition is absolutely key And how much exercise you need You’re individual, unique It’s fascinating and important To get to know your genes and DNA We are in the dark ages But we haven’t always been If you look to the East And you look to the past There’s a lot we need to remind ourselves Meditation Vibration Healing Kinesiology Reiki Your chakras Biokinesis So with all that’s going on in the world And trust me there’s a lot Try to stay calm Level headed Sleep is vital For literally everything I’ve saved three lives In my life All in a different way One, the Heimlich Maneuver Another, a baby who had a severe dairy allergy Which I told his mother about But she didn’t listen to me Until he was in hospital and could hardly breath I said doctors don’t study nutrition And that cream’s got lactose in it If you don’t take him to a nutritionist He may die So she did And he got better The third, I used my gift Which I don’t often do But this spirit was frenetic So I passed on what he had to say And days later she told me ‘You saved my life, I was going to put rocks in my pockets And jump off a cliff But after what you did And what you said I didn’t Thank you’ I tend to block it out That gift But I’ll use it if I have to Otherwise it’s too distracting And to be honest I’ve got enough to focus on With the living Do you suffer from anxiety or depression? The two most common Mental health conditions Please try therapy And if you can’t wait Can’t afford it Look within And keep reading Your gut is like your second brain Understanding that could be the key The real code to your web Medication should be your last resort Seriously Because trust me They’re so hard to get off And your brain becomes reliant on them They also damage you The stars change colours As do we Make sure you do the right thing When your colours change
