A dose of reality
Gasping for breath
Drowning dreams
Ambushed amygdala
Cemented cerebellum
Hijacked heart
Supine soul
Will my arms to relocate
Caress and count protruding ribs
Prompting pulse check
Resembling week old road kill
Weak unborn duckling
Desperately convulsing out of my shell
Time travelled to hell
I always welcomed
Pain as distraction
What was I thinking
Unwelcome tenant
Wish I could evict you
Waiting for relief to kick in
Morphine memories
Make room for insanity to fit in
Attacked by aberrant anguish
Biology bites
Twisting the truth
Telling me lies
Cadaverous cries
Attempted homicide
Arsenic drip
I didn’t ask for this trip
