NPM 2016: Day 12 {Personal Effects}



A slightly comical reflection from my first week taking antidepressants. Not meant to be idolizing antidepressants. I wrote it while laughing (and feeling dizzy, among other things.)

Personal Effects
December 15, 2015

This is an ode
to vertigo
and no appetite
and sleeping
with no blankets.
We bow to thee
vertigo,
no appetite,
no blankets.
We place you on the pedestal
above the altar
where you slew
the ravenous,
workaholic,
suicidal
beast
and we would lift our hands in praise
if only the world
would stop spinning.
Maybe we should
eat something or
go back to bed.
