I closed my eyes.
When I peered again
To my surprise,
Two inviting tablets
Graced my palm.
Before I knew it,
They were climbing down my neck
To happy heaven.
Spinning me and twisting my jaw.
Sweet ecstasy pulls and tears at me,
Forces me to smile
Numbs my cerebrum.
Whole days later,
When I return to language,
I utter that ‘never again’
For social acceptance
And wait
Until chemicals rape me again.
