So, of course, i decide to be "creative" just as all my school work floods in, but these are all Verses that I'm hoping to use at some point in different projects, I'm not quite sure which ones go together with my current ideas, but hopefully one will make it into a spoken word poem at some point.


I have a Ph.D. in my own self-destruction,
A Masters in self-medication,
with a major in panic attacks

For somebody who has always been bad at science
I've spent too many classes dissecting social butterflies,
I still don't understand what makes their hearts beat

I've taken a couple courses in recovery,
I don't think the professor was qualified,
Because ink stains are still sprawled across my skin
And the wolf in sheep's clothing ate so much of me,
I have no hunger left for myself

the amount of time I've spent around psychologists
should qualify me to be one myself
because I can show you every coping mechanism in the books
I can name you every medication
but it seems that replacing the lips of a lover
with the lips of a bottle
has done more than any prescription

for a panic attack, I'll prescribe you an hour of shaking,
for depression, a cocktail of thoughts,
for abuse, a couple weeks on bed rest
