the full moon inspires all of my internal intoxicants
serotonin and dopamine flowing like wine to christ’s supplicants
inspired inside by a cosmic symphony of instruments
i gaze with longing at a night sky so pregnant with resonance
pills and potions are the arsenal of my tribe
navigating the bipolar spectrum claiming the richness of our lives
creatively inspired and karmically inscribed
we find inner truth in divine dictums from on high
imagine if all the energy devoted to escape
could be channelled into the battle for systemic change
imagine a world free from oppressive chains
imagine a world liberated from toxic pain
pills and potions—we’re overdosing
evoked by nikki so effortlessly flowing
we channel our energy into a struggle in motion
aspiring to freedom—envisioning revolutionary solutions
