TOXIC BLOODSTREAM

alcohol and adderall—lines of coke fueling pychotic breaks
sex with meth and sex on speed—giving less than i fight to take

my bloodstream is soaked in chemicals—prescribed and otherwise
the neurons in my brain love to play–psychic synapses open fire

the allure of self-medication is potent and profound
its so easy to lose sight of self—to lose footing on solid ground

we must remove the curse of criminalization from the rites of psychopharmacology
we must liberate our minds from soulless toxicity

the earth is alive and vibrant—full of chemical combinations to explore
in a liberated future we will maintain balance–while indulging in substances we adore

my own toxic bloodstream has lost its allure and run its course
i commit myself to sanity-to love-and mutual support
