For a moment, I can close my eyes and my senses blur,
My thoughts lose specificity and fade into nothingness.
I'm not worthless or any of those things I shout at myself.
My nose, my mouth, my throat, and my brain tingle;
I am swirling with the fragrance and taste of more than yesterday.
Perhaps it won't last, but for now I'm alone in my basement,
And I've lost track of the thoughts that aren't okay with that.

Shh, I'm not thinking.
