Serotonin
If you want to hear the real truth, then:
Truth is I’ve felt like an actor in this rebirth,
a kidnapped hitchhiker of this change.
Is this even possible, I’ve wondered aloud:
Is this just another mask?
Am I just rehearsing some lines?
I've tried to write a new chapter but
my pen cuts the paper ‘cause
I’m trying so hard.
Truth is I wasn’t sure I’d changed but then,
today I cut a lemon with more joy
than I think I’ve had in my whole life.
That I'd picked out my grave plot but now:
I'm thinking raised beds and tomatoes
so I can make spaghetti for some new love.
