a state of inebriation —
no alcohol, no drugs,
serotonin that floods
through your body
until it stops.
quiet world, loud thoughts —
medication that doesn’t turn it off.
a roller coaster high
until you fall, the pain so sharp
you’ll feel it all.
norepinephrine —
a middle name,
anxiety the friend you talk to
everyday.
empathy unreal —
as if you can somehow feel
the heartbeat of
every person you love
(and don’t).
a state of inebriation —
no alcohol, no drugs,
emotions you fear
you’ll never be cured from.
