Mind Numbing at 23

When your brain goes
insane in the truest refrain, just
smile and wave, of course you’re ok, why
wouldn’t you be, just because you’ve climbed
a two story tree, asking just to be let me be, sitting
on a limb, cold November wind blows chilling
face, hands, down to the bone, why won’t you
leave me alone, but nobody’s there it’s just me in
this tree, just me and moon, who looks lovingly
towards the land, and me sitting in my tree, face up
crying, why please just let me end these pains, this
disease that is me, weeping looking up, shining
bright full silver white light is moon, gently singing
softly humming stories from ancestors old, a child
so young should never be made to feel so bitter so
cold, where life is forfeit and death sounds a glorious
retreat, cold snap reality checked, in a tree contemplating
death is no choice, as BIG pharma causes malfunctioning
thought processes, reel in recollect down now go, on
the morrow doctors will know, unhappy it is when your mind
wants to go and your body is screaming NO, because
of medication incarceration zombifying unsuspecting
citizens like you and me.
