Antidotes

Am I going to change my beliefs,
Because they don't provide for you...
A haven of quick relief?
What do you think?
I am a writer!
That is the only thing I can proclaim.
I don't provide antidotes...
Or substitutions for your pain!

You might find your sedative...
In that line marked DELUSIONS!
That is where your companions stand,
Seeking alternatives...
With their prepared conclusions!
