dear accutane,

The dermatologist told me you would stay in my system for a couple days after I stopped taking you. We had almost seven months together, but I hope I saw the last of you tonight – and please get out of my system asap. My skin and lips feel fragile and raw almost all the time. My eyes look like they’ve seen a hundred years of misery. But that’s all ending soon, I hope. Hopefully, after all the side effects and scars wear off, I’ll be even better than before.
