if i hadn't been sick just a month ago,
i might tell you now
that i am feeling a bit under the weather.
i might be coming down with something.

___________________________________
this is the first time in my life that i am actually considering
getting on anti-depressants.
i have always just assummed
that those were for the weak people.
i am not weak;
hence, there is no need for me to take them.

so if i decide to start taking them,
that can mean one of two things:
A) strong people can benefit from anti-depressants, or,
B) i am weak.

or it could mean that i assumed wrong
when i first decided that there
was any relationship between
strength of character
and mood altering drugs.
