Amazing

This is how it feels

I am still

just a girl

when the colors

begin to swirl

 

he is alcohol

he is acid

 

pills are

pelletized thrills

not medicine

 

liquid is an elixir

 

a kaleidoscope

of hope appears

 

and I am taught

to see visions

 

futures empty

into the beaker

 

and I measure

the weight of

pleasure

 

to see which

one fits.
