"We know what we are, but not what we may be" - Shakespeare


With the loss of appetite
the desire to live
had vanished from
within
all of these signs
none of which may
explain the endless pit
of blackness, the void
with the millions of slithering
snakes winding around
my rib cage like the thorns
on roses
Medicated on pills
and empty hopes
the tidal waves of
antidepressants
Fluoxetine
Sertraline
this sour taste will

never be erased














All of the cruel side effects










Fill the empty classrooms during summer break










Movement disorders,











agitation,









improper bone development,











blurred vision













Drowsiness,











drop in blood pressure,















rapid heartbeat












Irregular heart rate,















may cause thoughts of suicide,












death














May cause increased risks of breast cancer but










may prevent brain cancers















Causing cognitive decline. Abnormal bleeding.
















Stroke. Death













Death
















Death.
