Venus

People are not drugs
but I use them
it does not work
but I do

Fantasy is not a drug
Adventure is not a drug
Thinking is not a drug
Work is not a drug
Projects are not drugs
Reading is not a drug
Accomplishments are not drugs

but I use them
it does not work
but I do

Food is not a drug
Not eating is not a drug
Feelings are not drugs
checking out is a drug

When my life is wonderful
but my feelings are not
is my outer life not as good as I think
is my inner life out of touch?

Venus,
goddess of Love
grant me sanity
if sanity is to be found
in your realm
