potion

Written for theatrical_muse

I want a magic potion that'll make me forget everything bad that's ever happened to me. Should be something permanent that'll still let me remember all the happy things.

I grew up hearing that bad times make a person stronger. Mostly from people like my mum's friends. No offence to those people - they were just trying to think of something nice to say to me after my dad was killed - but I don't believe it. I think bad times only make a person sad and want to escape from everything. A potion to take away all that shite would be brilliant. Even if I couldn't use it I'd buy it for my mum.

She started going to church a lot after Dad. Maybe talking to god is her escape. So maybe that means god's her magic potion. That's odd yeah? Or maybe not. Now that I think about it maybe I've already got my magic potion too. Every time I smoke I feel like I'm leaving behind the crap.

OK got it. I would buy a magic potion that does everything weed does but without the munchies.
