The chemicals produced by the brain Combine and collide In order to confuse. I want to defy the formula, Ignore the reaction, And choose. Choose what I want, Who I want, Override chemical overthinking. Overactive imagination plus a little stimulation Equals lust, obsession, pain. Perhaps if I try really hard to overcome my programming, I could be an alchemist of emotional responses, Instead of an oxytocin ****** I know, I know It's arrogant of me to expect to be The first human being to truly master self-control. The alchemists of old Had a better chance Of turning straw to gold.
