Poison

This poison tasted like wine enough to kill my conscious  

This fields of medicine I drank myself out of this situation of in-laws my mother zonked herself to be part of 
My poison was them, nothing ever killed me like they did 

This field of medicine not only caused me to die a deleterious death 
This field of medicine killed my womb to birth my own children 

This poison!

I employed sectors of poisonous substances for reasons other than toxicity 
I employed sectors to destroy my own consciousness 

I injected a deadly potion dose to kill myself 
I injected a deadly potion to kill and destroy this temple I live in everyday
I wanted to feel numbness 

I headed straight to the edge with a slogged mind of this poison I intoxicated myself to sleep through this pain I was feeling 

To my surprise
I laid awake in mind 
I laid awake in mind with no sets of my body moving 

That was never a dream, was it?

I dosed off my conscious with this poison I drank
