pills are cool, anti-depressants AIN'T

2026-07-28

okay i've been on them pills for a minute. which is worse drugs or anti-depressants? drugs numb or activate the parts you want gone or there, anti-depressants just numb. pain, echoes through the black hole, with them it's just hollow. gone, nothing to remember them by, my pain defines me, is that a lie? mandatory pills are gone, pills are now taken by desire, flying? high and high, but we told you, all that's up comes down, doesn't matter if you frown, napoleon without a crown? napoleon complex, what did socrates say? hitler complex, one ball index, that's where this poem ends. without anti-depressants i can let it out again. not knowing what it is or what i gain, beach volleyball or bitch volleyball? here comes the serve, serving the servicer where he works. here comes the swerve, i'm out this bitch, rich or poor you wind up in a ditch. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE, I FEEL I POWERING UP, EYE SAID EYE, WRITTEN ON THY THIGHS, I WANT THY, DON'T ASK ME WHY.

how do you want to read?

poems can unravel themselves as you read, line by line, at a considered pace — or just sit there, fully visible, like normal.

change this anytime — look for “reading: …” near the top of any poem.
