A short poem.
by Marcus Jonathan Chapman
Please
Don’t take the pills
Changing chemistries
Raising new ills
Those dark shadows
Swirling
Let them feed
Through words
To paper eaters
Devouring
Let them loose
Through color
To open windowed souls
Cowering
Let them twirl
Not suppress
Give them life
Beyond the chest
Let them powder
Through noise
To wax drums
Quivering
Let them dance
Through monologues
To cymbal-ed monkeys
Chattering
Please
Don’t take the remedies
Blessing new enemies
Depressing heart break
Those dark shadows
Swirling
