Unmedicated again
goin’ on two days
now and you
wonder why your
brain is misfiring
signals to imaginary
cells, firing
to nowhere no
longer there.
you say you’re not
into changing
your chemistry
but you already
tricked your body,
a fickle apparatus
but you can’t
breathe
without it.
Heart palpitates,
killing you.
Suffocating. Casting
hallucinations of drowning
in your room – water
beneath your
bed, filling
your lungs.
but your
brain is still misfiring
burning tracks to
a vast
electric neuron
field. Sparkling
like a lake in
the morning
sun.
