Lost In a Capsized Body

Feeling a bit itchy. Stop that! I shriek to my body. We are over that! Tender there. Shush! I hush the yelling voice. We are done with that also. Teeth and gums hurt. SHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I am walking upright. Congratulate myself on that. Having to be human even when nothing else feels human any longer, lost in a capsized body mind that used to belong to me.

I am refraining from posting my new “haha” poems which make no sense to even me. I am not a person who should ever be on drugs.

That sum's it all up well. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

I am gingerly congratulating myself on weeding myself down on these pills.
