Fluoxetine

Poem to my bottle of sanity- the very reason I still manage to live.

You numb me

You make every night sleepless

You make hell cooler

My sweet fluoxetine.

You give me a vague reason to live

You’ve made me cry painlessly

I can’t live without you,

My sweet fluoxetine.

Live in a bottle

Open for me

Let me see the joy you’ll 

bring me closer to feeling

Get under my skin

Make me dream

Become part of me

My sweet fluoxetine

Be one with my flesh

I feel so alone

You can intoxicate me.

Make me feel

worth my existence.

Penetrate my psyche

With the love I never had.

Give me the compassion

That for myself you’ve never lacked.

Make me experience something I never have-

A release from myself that’d last.
