Dopamine Brawl

His psychosis created a fragment of hell.
An azure paradise annihilated of purpose
screamed in cacophony of mystic syllables,
and sensing  different times and places.
a shrivelled  illusion intruded his mind...
only to disappear suddenly in a sinkhole.
 
In waiting room of Doctors chamber,
he cried for help, but nobody listened. 
The ruckus of dysfunctional dopamine 
cut a vertical bevel in his horizontal thinking.
They said it decimated his culminating life
it now will  need a leverage of medication. 

A derelict dog runs frantically...  
after the family car speeding  for vacation.
He stretches his arms, "please take me along
in my resolution to fight this fatal brawl".

Congratulations on your win in my contest. I like the dog as the rescuer, where psychiatry might not heal. Kind wishes, Kai
