No Choice


So I sit and take my daily drug

It's now my new routine

From under my feet it's pulled the rug


No choice, I give a shrug

Parkinsons can be so mean

So I sit and take my daily drug


Bad days please I need a hug

On you I need to lean

From under my feet it's pulled the rug


Now part of the PD club

No quick fix or vaccine

So I sit and and take my daily drug


Nightmares or bad dreams

More symptoms so it seems

So I sit and take my daily drug

From under my feet it's pulled the rug

Well done! The rhyming scheme works well and your repeat lines seem totally appropriate as the 'refrain', which I think is the toughest thing to do in this poetic form. The PD Villanelle! If you ever want to revisit it, work on the syllable count for each line so they are regular throughout; but that may be going too far! Again, congratulations!
