twenty ages inscribed on two pages
scribbled verse
on pale paper
each decade consolidated
coalesce into one word
”validation”
argent eyes lidless and dilated
lithium depleted
psychotropic hunger taking over
seconds tick past
before a suicidal maniac enacts the final act
chrysalis of every molestation
masked behind a painless smile
veneer of mellow medication
revealed to be a perfect lie
thin arms reach out with intent to compel
wand-like hands cast sinister spells
lashing out
as screams retract into hell
contemptuous eyes now gaze unto oneself
paralyzed with an epiphany
rejoicing from the fact that it’s all
just a euphoric awakening
