Elixir

A Poem by Sandra Lynn
"

My first "assignment". Pick 10 random words from the dictionary and write a 10 line poem. About being restrained in a psychiatric ward.

"
The chairs that hold me, somewhat cosy.
Indicative psychosis, my diagnosis.
Adult, I am not. Yet, this battle, I sought.
Not accounting, brain is bouncing.
This is just great, leather restraint,
next comes symmetry, in perfect harmony, but
par for the course, injections at force.
Density evolves, problems suddenly solved,
y the doctors we worship, each new med version.
crazy? doctor - or sane? the author?

Wow. How unnerving and unsettling to say the least. Frightening. Cool, catchy title - although it doesn't feel like an 'Elixir to the receiver, more like for the giver. Indeed, who's the crazy one?
