Serotonin

Dear Serotonin, It's been many years since I've seen you last Since you up and left me in the past From then I've never been the same And your absence from me is my shame When you first left, I was a wreck Life was a thorn in my side and a pain in my neck On the verge of destruction and utter collapse On a broken record of constant relapse I didn't give up, and I sought help Heading to recovery; a push, a pull, a skelp I fought through and I was strong And I'm still fighting this and pushing it along I'm going through my days without drugs or medication Getting by day-by-day holding onto motivation All those drugs would make you come back worse I am beating what you've done to me; undoing this whole curse I could blame you, blame myself, or could just blame genetics But making up any excuse just makes me look pathetic I accept who I am and where I'm at in life I will continue to fight you; nail and tooth and knife No matter what you do to me, I will never go away I can feel myself getting stronger with every passing day You have finally met your match, the battle has begun I will end this everlasting war, in my name it shall be won Yours Truly, Dylan Foss
