Affliction with
mental illness beasts sans,
depression, panic/ anxiety
obsessive
compulsive disorder
didst for most of
my lix splitting life zap
psychological
state plagued with
sweaty palms, irritable
bowel syndrome, mind chatter
constantly doth
yip and yap,
whereby extensive
stretches of time
bore cerebral torture
housing invisible
mailer daemon
nemesis bubble wrap
ping entire corporeal
to suicidal ideations
to escape once and
for all asphyxiating,
gamesomely hectoring imps,
nauseating non-
apparent trap
regularly pitching emotional
welfare to and fro,
hither and yon, thence
lashing out
at self - summarized
with the non medical term,
yet descriptive word "snap"
though a half
dozen medications
(listed as follows) alleviate
sensation akin to feeling
besieged, and
pugilistic-ally rapped,
yet (Quetiapine tab 300mg,
Clomipramine cap 50mg,
Fluoxetine cap 40mg,
Fluoxetine cap 20mg,
Busipirone tab 15mg,
and Clonozepam tab 0.5mg)
prior to prescriptive palliatives,
aye experienced
debilitating quality
of life, thus I accept
function-able, manageable
unfortunate side effects such,
viz thinning hair,
necessity to take daily nap
abdominal weight gain,
where love handles
replaced wash board
stomach, adipose tissue
not quite spilling o'er me lap
so in summary
burden of proof
no longer tethers
Sisyphean rolling rocks
interestingly enough
this figurative lid locks
akin to sealing
schizoid "Pandora box).
