Night At CVS

by Wendy McNeill | Oct 2, 2024 | Creative

Stars fall out of my eyes
Showering down on old concrete
I shiver in the cold
Of a false awakening
I sit and wait
For lithium carbonate
Lamotrigine
Abilify and more…
Taking with them pizzazz
Snap
Verve
Zest
And my memory
And they leave the rest
They leave what’s left
Sedate
Even keel
Stable and calm
Waiting for my pill
So I don’t feel
So won’t feel
So I won’t curse
So I won’t burst
I will not lose control
So I won’t hurt
So I won’t hurt
Hurt anybody
Anybody
Anybody at all
