Sudden snakes in my brain
what a waste are my inaudible cries
mental welts I give myself
because I made you leave
now you hate me
screw my life
it's all just too hard to believe
Inaudibly I crumble and fall into the dirt
don't bury me, just leave me here
dead inside, inert
I died the day you left me
I'd never felt so hurt
Hope in the shape of Zoloft
just doesn't do the trick
I read our chats over and over
and the flogging bud of failure
knowing how much I lost
leaves me feeling sick
you said I was toxic maybe that's true
I only know
I've never loved anyone the way I love you
my mental mosh pit, my hodgepodge mind
I feel so much, but I'll never say
and the snakes in my brain
will probably never go away

Anxiety, dear?
But that doesn't exist
Cowards only run,
Don't be a baby,
Everything is fine, so why
Fear something that's not there?
Give me a break, stop complaining
Help me understand
I'm your parent
Just shut up
Kids are just moody as teens
Let me know if you need help
Medication won't help
No, I don't want you to go to therapy
Obviously you're fine, I've done nothing to you
Please don't cry, you're life isn't that bad
Quiet!
Really now, you're embarassing me
Stop that now
Tell me what I can do
Understand that I'm trying to help. I'm
Very disappointed with you, I can manage
Without drugs, why can't you?
Xanax, are you sure?
You need to try a something else
Zoloft? why take pills when you have me for support?

The Young and the Anxious
We are a new youth in an old world
We are constantly told to calm down
We are constantly told to relax
Told of times “back in my day”
From an older generation who knows nothing
Of the conflicts we face in the present
I’m here to tell you that we will not settle
We WILL NOT let this world tell us we aren’t enough
And we certainly will not, ing back down
You can keep your Xanax, Ativan and your Zoloft
That you give out like candy on Halloween
You tell us we are broken when we are only healing
Wounds left open by former generations
Instead of your quick fix pills you give
We will pass a joint with hands of change
And as we get the munchies we will snack
On the food of growth and fruitfulness
You tell us we will never make a difference
As you try to hold us back from doing so
But I am here to tell you
The we are the young and the anxious
And we aren’t going away without one hell of a fight

Sedated mental health related
sedation no vegas vacation anxiety is the relation...ship
PTSD is like a constant constipated ****
It's not a STD or VD but both are a *****
mental health isn't contagious you can't catch it
you go to the doctors they keep asking
how you feel you better say its A OK or its another pill
just keeping it real every doctor has a drug to push
like the choice between GDP or OG Kush
instead its a norco, zoloft, xanix, man whats next
you try to fix pain all these panic attacks please lift the weight off my chest
just to take the drugs and become more manic and depressed
I went to doctors looking for more but they gave me less
keep popping the pills it will go away do your best
to stay moving forward and stay on track
I went to big pharma for two steps forward
instead I got ten steps back. -TA 2017

The silly names for medicine!
It’s just a lot of rot
While Percoset is meant for pain,
Sounds like a coffee pot
Latuda’s not a ladies name
It regulates your mood
It sounds as though that it should help
A stuck-up attitude!
With Zoloft, you can calm your nerves
And that is no disgrace
But I just think it sounds more like
A man from outer space
And next we come to Celebrex
It can reduce your swelling
But better yet, a party name to
Warm your brand new dwelling
But sometimes, they are just mixed-up
And not to be a diva
But don’t you think Viagra
Would be better named Boniva!

Sadness
turns into madness
people explode in
Movie Theaters;
People explode on roads;
People have road rage
on this road called life."
Say it soft shhh hush
CAN you say
"Zoloft "
Resentments
In churches, where
black-folk congregate.
Under the protection of the
Lord.
Were killed in his presence
by programmed youth under
mind control; Parishioners,
Praying baptist,
killed by terrorist.
Can you say
"Prozac"
People
Agitated
in altered states
don't know what to think
no pure water to drink.
Foods that confuse
instead of regulate.
Can you say
"Chlorine / fluoride"
Hate
backfiring like an old shotgun
toxic people making promises
to toxic hopefuls; Who gets sadder
and madder as they realize…
That in America;
They eat bad foods and...
Their lives Also "do not matter”
CAN you say ( Mon Saint O's )
or "GMO'S"
Help
Can you say...
"Follow the wealth ".
can you say
"Pharmaceutical"
over "medicinal"
can you say "Americans
are a victim of "Stealth"
Stolen minds and bad health.
Can you say
Exodus...?

Yeah
I drank my coffee and it was good
The coffee rush pushes me out
To enjoy another Zoloft enhanced day
I wonder what has life in store
For me today
As I sit in the easy chair out back
Forget the office they don’t need me there
Right at eight
And this tranquility demanding I stay
I could use another.
Oh there it already rests.

Eyes willed open
Pinballing to the bathroom,
Fishing for my wet junk, to uncork yesterday's debacle.
The 5 liter box, tapped, is one half turn
Away from a brand new day.
Zoloft, somas, oxys and ativans.
Chug-a-lug-a candy chemicals...
Peaceful electric brain sex..
All wrapped up in cotton,
steady sweat pours out the OD.
Dreamy episodes of cops and robbers,
Jerry, Steve and Judge Judy.
Broken down, rolling smokes, popping
Pills and pushing envelopes,
Freedom, God, and then another
Drink.
My life, my rules.

Hopscotch playing
Dragon slaying
Home alone staying
Child of a broken home
Liquor sneaking
***** peaking
Experimental tweaking
Adolescent always stoned
Cigarette smoking
Eating then choking
Closet toking
Average American whore
Cake baking
Zoloft taking
Dinner making
Wife and mother of 4
Empty nest
Did your best
Cheers to the rest
Menopause is the answer
Constantly prying
Endless crying
Slowly dying
Widowed grandmother with cancer

Espresso and billows of cigarette smoke
start your life each day, to underwrite and
elevate the squeaky neurosis you display.
Freud and Prozac and Xanax keep you level
but flat, add 60 milligrams of amphetamines
to get your motivation back.
Some say its “creative style” while others say
“you’re very ill” as civilized, certified doctors
proclaim: “swallow every pill!” No more
“Carpe Diem” nor “beckoning to swim out
further,” celebrate you right to cope,
with therapeutic fervor.
Your fading friends alas, contend: “your
brain is now asleep!” Just tweak your dose
and animated you will arise and leap! Skies
ginger with days ablaze cobalt space,
your ability to marvel struggles in
a foggy and muddled place.
Synapses firing, “Control!” my mind has ordered
Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors…dreams
Carl Jung has ordered. Dopamine, Zoloft or
Ambien, competition to attend, the
imagined dangers that never
really end.
