Marbles (09/25/25)

Text reads:

medication holds me oh so tightly

cradles me, crushes me

carefully picks me apart

renders me chemical

renders me mortal

reminds me i am flesh

empty my head full of marbles

into an elaborate music machine

make me sing

make me shake

make me scream

make music

i cant describe the stillness

of my being uninfluenced

because the words interupt the silence it requires

to convey my lack of life

im empty

a hollow wooden egg

twist me apart

shove pills into the cavity where my insides should be

and shake
