Forget My Name

I felt the symptoms starting There was nothing I could do Other than up my dosage some Instead of ingesting one, taking two That didn’t seem to matter I felt the rage beginning to mount The irritating aura surrounding me My control I must take into account Raged and manically inhabited Trying feverishly to maintain control I lost it as fast as I wished it Anger completely solely on patrol Crying isn’t going to help me Nor are my silent pleas out of mouth Severe repercussions of my actions Regret and sorrow leading me south As far south as my feet can take me Escaping this cruel mental shame Leading me to another side of darkness A place where no one will remember my name © Stacy Lynn Stiles
