rage circulates through my blood
with love racing behind it
while anguish lies in the back

an iv drips in the back ground
morphine to drown out the emotions
and fill me with a numbness

hospitalized again
for feeling the way i have times before
when my brain and heart want two different things

my body feels light and motionless
the drug is seeping into my soul
and shutting who i am off

the emotional basket case
has ceased and left behind
a caccoon of a normal human being

who feels to only a degree of what i feel
senses a fraction of what i sense
and dreams of things much smaller than i do

guess im back to being one of them
