you're a cns depressant i
knew from the moment i met you cause
i remember tasting you before:
the bottle of white
***
i stole from my mother like
fire and bitterness and
damp cloth across my mouth
drank you dry and
felt a little less volatile
fire fighting fire no room for hurt when i can just
lie here
and count every eye as it closes i
am argus:
all-seeing, hundred-eye
and everything i try to protect
is stolen when my eyes
close
{scatter my eyes on feathers
and never let them shut again}
deep draughts of you i
remember
your taste
and the way my skin buzzes and mind numbs
when you burn my throat.
you're a cns depressant and i,
the loneliest child on the west coast you thought
the california scene
was supposed to be
brighter than this
but i've lived here all my life and let me tell you:
every morning is
chill grey skies
and fog
that tastes tonic
without the gin, or
to put it differently:
everything i don't need not
fire just
damp chill
{i'm starting to think that
every california love story
is set in death valley because here
the ocean is cold in the height of summer
and the streets are empty at 5 am when i decide maybe
i should stop
writing
and make sure the world is still there}
and for me,
a child
with an empty bottle
and an empty room,
you were a monster
that i prayed i would find beneath my bed
you are a fugue state i dropped into willingly you
let me forget
that the water is cold
let me forget that this life
is the least compelling plot I’ve ever read
and i’m tempted to skip to the end
golden state fugue state in death valley sunburn girls
shed their skins like snakes and i
lust after empty husks
but i grew gills when i tried to drown in the bay i could
never be as hollow as that i
bite my lip and hope i'll bleed this time
instead of just aching
{no more aches just fire and fog if
i bleed
catch it in an inkwell you know
black ink
is worth more than my blood
send my letters to the red cross and spill red across the pages}
no more aches just fire and fog i
always liked myself more when i was on a stage
hope this story will skip to the end
cause i don’t think I can take another apathetic word i wish
this narrator
had drowned before her gills could form
but i feel a little less alone with my hand around your neck
you’re a cns depressant you  
held my hand as i burned
you made me a chain of four leaf clovers and i swallowed every one i think
you made a bad decision
when you chose to help me survive
What the mind is exposed to travels
Brain and spinal cord
CNS
PNS
Body network of nerves redress
Carrying messages,
to and from the CNS
Somatic,

performing voluntary activities dramatic
Branch out from the spinal cord,
connect to the brain
SNS

SNS and PNS
Opposite ways,

Synapses
Presynaptic terminal
Organs and other parts,

Changes in the structure and function
Physical and psychological,
traumatic may be invisible,
to the naked eye
Emotional
Post-traumatic stress disorder
PTSD
MRI can help to identify and see,
changes in structure and function,
that may be linked,
to trauma dysfunction
Smaller hippocampal volume,
common finding in individuals,
who have sustained PTSD
and other trauma-related disorders,
disturbing the nature being,
and holism rewarders
Altered amygdala function,
increased or decreased amygdala volume
This can also be seen in women with PTSD
Altered functional brain networks,
this can include malfunction blued,
within a network,
or disequilibrium,
between the networks
Trauma the brain hurts

National Library of Medicine:

Encouraging as this plan might sound, the truth is that we are far from possessing a detailed picture of how the brain works and even farther from understanding how brain functions relate to operations of the human mind. This gap is no secret, as neuroscientists will be the first to admit.

Part of the problem lies in the sheer difficulty of developing noninvasive technologies that are powerful and sensitive enough to allow us to measure brain activity in vivo and at different levels of complexity, from molecules to large-scale brain areas.

Similarly, neuroscientists face the daunting task of systematizing, analyzing, and modeling enormous amounts of data. Above and beyond these fundamental yet tractable practical difficulties rests a less discussed but equally pivotal challenge: that of understanding how answers about the brain can resolve questions about the mind and vice versa.

No matter how much neural data we amass and no matter how sophisticated or computationally powerful our statistical models become, the goal of endeavors such as the BRAIN Initiative will be out of reach unless we have a clear theoretical framework that reveals how the brain relates to the mind. This relation is the bailiwick of philosophers.

How does brain development and activity influence moral choice, behavior and character?

The Science Revolution in 2024 by Dr Diviney: clearly demonstrates the influence of moral choice, behavior and character in relation to the brain; and those morals and behaviors which were long before modern science, will have influenced and shaped brain development and activity within Society which still exists in the present day.

Historical Societal Discrimination
of Women and Men
who are inherently both nature beings.
Women Societal Discrimination:

Extracts:

Dr Diviney’s research proved Men have held Societal power and influence right from the time of Stoicism, this is throughout early Philosophical perspectives, ideas, ideals and views which were all undertaken by men.

Men themselves have also been discriminated against historically:

Societal influence that has led men to formulate thoughts in their mind, through Primary and Secondary Socialisation, as to how a man presents and deals with emotions.

The current psychotherapy models would indeed be discriminatory in practice.

The rain is so frail, beatific
moment, dim precipitate on my bare arms
and wondrous half-light washing across the city sky.

Do I trust myself with CNS depressants, or am I just deterred
by the thought of those more eclectic GABA aftereffects.
I'll dabble with the answer, they'd proclaim a world anxiolytic.
Enough of this dark ****.
Asking me "bro, do you even know
how hard it is to **** yourself"
after taking potentially fatal doses
of various CNS depressants. I know

better than most. I cannot watch this.
Our lifelines are fragile things
and I shouldn't have to stare down Atropos
for anyone other than myself.
I wanna live.

"I want to hold on to the innocence I got".
We make our own fate, weaving stories
to tell ourselves, measuring the world
with them, and wearing our destinies out.
Another of our friends' died.

Line Fourteen from It's Just A Lot by K.Flay
Poetria Aug 2020
you froze to death
the windows were open
windows we refused to shut
so i close this window now
you ask me many questions
where is the car?
who is the man?
i ignore you
when did we go?
we left so long ago
did we go?
is it over?
it just began
is the man with us?
where is the car?
where is your heart
have i frozen over?
i have melted down
will i melt?
you are not okay
am i not okay?
you make me not okay
i have been not okay for so long
have you not?
i have not
you have not what?
i have not been okay for so long
why?
i wish i could feel nothing for you
why have you left me alone?
why did you freeze
did i freeze?
you have forgotten to take care of me
why did i freeze?
you do not care about yourself
is it my CNS?
call a doctor
am i a doctor?
you say you are
what do i do?
you help people
can i help you?
you are my death
am i a doctor?
you are a hollow vessel
am i alive?
you froze to death
did we go?
i don't know
is it over?
where have you been
is the man with us?
you died before you froze
did i freeze?
you have frozen in time
did i freeze?
you are warm in my mind
did i freeze?
you froze in my memory like a final goodbye
Babatunde Raimi Jul 2020
Her piety did not scare death
She lived ready, protecting our nation
Why are real heroes falling?
Indeed, "all other grounds are sinking sands"
From dust to dust you are laid today
Your body interned to mother earth
But your soul lingers till eternity

Thank you "Chukwu" for Tolulope
She came and made her mark
Wrote her name in our fabric as a nation
Soldiers never die, they translate
She has gone for a higher calling
She already resumed in heaven
Welcomed by Angels, sitted by her Creator

To our leaders in all spheres
Military burial for our hero past isn't enough
Bury all seed of nepotism
Tribalism, terrorism and banditory
My people, my state, let it go
Now, let it go I preach poetically!
We must be nationalistic in all things
If we hope to move forward as a nation

And you reading this piece
What shall men say when you depart?
What will be written on your epitaph?
What are you doing for your nation?
So we don't have to lie?
You only survive if all you think is your family?
Live and let live, that others may live
"My own, your own", please let it go

Good night our national hero Tolulope Aritile
Good might Nigeria's first helicopter pilot
Good night to a mentor to so many
Thank you "The Arotiles", God bless that womb
Thank you to the CDS, CAS, CNS, Presidency
Of a truth, no child is better than the other
At least, Tolu proved it with her daring acts
Following the path of least resistance.
