Drowning

My allergies are like an ocean
Of raging waves
That rise and fall
When I take the little red pill
The waves die down
I can stay afloat
I can breathe
Then the pill wears off
The waves rise up
Crash and roar
And it feels like I'm drowning
My nasal passages obstructed
I can't breathe
But then I take the little red pill again
My life preserver
Keeping me afloat
