Wonder Drug

By Dr. Raquel Isabelle Donado

My skin weathered, darkened

No longer supple, soft, smooth

Life’s lines already hardened

People no longer stare, truth

Saw a young girl advertising and

I bought a bottle promising youth

At first I felt good, glowing, glam and

Then my skin bubbled, broke, uncouth

And my doctor said, disheartened

Which wonder drug must I sleuth?
