Did I take my meds today?

"did you take your meds today?"

because if my delicate soul expresses its torment, it must mean I forgot to numb myself.

I have learned that bottling emotions is like filling up a balloon with air until it pops

and with all this pressure I am bound to explode

though I cannot find my fear

​

I used to feel a passion that consumed me,

at depths that would suffocate a barreleye.

now, nothingness has become normalcy

and I yearn to reclaim my intensity

​

each day I swallow my fear, my rage, my loneliness

I pray my love remains uncorrupted

because my emotions lie trapped in a balloon

preparing for their escape
