Diagnose And Medicate.

Streaming snarls pour down my heart

Chemical imbalance they say

Dopamine draining down my spinal chord

Pooling in my eyes

Broken shudders form as liquid joy

Slips out of my face

Eyeliner tire-tracks 

Mark the swift path 

The speed that happy left at

Saturating inanimate with synapse juice

Paper requires no liquid assets

Wasting ecstasy on cold white lines

Smile. Your mouth is drowning in your tears.

What I feel doctors should say instead of 'Dear, you're depressed...'
