Prescriptions of Zoloft, Nortriptyline, and Lithium,
Tablets of Clonipan, Valium, and Ativan,
Omega-3 pills that are shipped right to me,
These are a few of my favorite things.
St. Therese medals and Serenity Prayer bracelets,
A personal shield made with permanent markers,
Brown paper bags for those panic attacks,
These are a few of my favorite things.
Untwisting distortions and positive thinking,
Happy Lites blasting my circadian rhythms,
Good self-esteem in only 10 days,
These are a few of my favorite things.
When the dogs barf,
When the kids crap,
When I’m feeling sad,
I simply remember my favorite things,
And then I don’t feel so bad.
