Wrestling at the Sink
Like punching a patronizing time clock
I execute an act of pharmacological faith
So that this fractured brain
Can function undetected by the insensitive.I engage in a daily skirmish
Battling urges of defiance, pride, and denial
Only conquering non-compliance with sobering
Memories of manic ruin and Bedlam’s misery.So, with a perfunctory glance,
A medicinally modified mind
Turns, parting from the mirror’s defeated reflection,
Fortified, to face the day.
