Untitled

Overwhelmed and underwhelimg

In the things most important

Drowning in the air I can no longer feel

Buzzing and swirling around me in melodies and soft caresses

That would spring my steps and twists my fingers into beautiful worlds of colour and chaos

Now I have been anchored in this underwhelming realm of ****

I can no longer see past the flesh around me

Feel the spirit of the trees

Nor hear the Goddess sing in the falling snow

No.

My life has become controlled by this...this small sponge of chemicals that absorbs all my colours and leave me dulled and gray

I'm calm; so calm I'm empty

There is music no more

And my magick is astray!

Is this normal?

Who would ever want to be normal??

I say, as I swallow the pills and start another day
