Magic Little Pill

You give me a pill
Tell me it’s magic;
You say it will fix all my issues-
and make me whole again.
You blame the pandemic;
rightly so.
But will the pill fix the state of the world?
The pill you’ve gifted will help with
mood
personal connections
feeling hopeless and helpless
anxiety
but what happens after the pill?
Where does the magic go?
What will help once they’re gone?
