I closed my eyes. <br />When I peered again <br />To my surprise, <br />Two inviting tablets <br />Graced my palm. <br /> <br />Before I knew it, <br />They were climbing down my neck <br />To happy heaven. <br />Spinning me and twisting my jaw. <br />Sweet ecstasy pulls and tears at me, <br />Forces me to smile <br />Numbs my cerebrum. <br /> <br />Whole days later, <br />When I return to language, <br />I utter that ‘never again’ <br />For social acceptance <br />And wait <br />Until chemicals rape me again.<br /><br />Sonja Broderick<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-weak-moment/
