1
Three small, round pills, one oval
swallowed twice daily.

2
Numb, frozen.
Unable to feel anything.
The world viewed through
beige-colored lenses.

3
Tiny little patches on the brain
that suck up dopamine and norepinephrine 
like a sponge,
then send them to anywhere 
except for where they’re needed.

4
The dragon that eats me some days.
Other days, I slay that bastard.

5
No rest for mind or body.
Thoughts jostle for the forefront
while the body paces,
unable to find peace.

6
Inconvenient at best.
At worst, a terrorist
blowing up my emotions.
