Novocaine
I want something
to numb my mind
and take
away the pain.
Something to stop the
sacrilegious dance
of the demons
in my head.
They cavort on the inside
of my skull
upstairs neighbors
keeping me up at night.
One little shot so that
I can't feel their
twisted hooves carving
sins into my soul.

I wish for you peace of mind and only caution you with the warning that the "shots" we seek do not selectively numb, they often anaesthetise the joy as well. Excellent write. Much love.

I replied to this a month ago, but as a comment, my error, it follows. Sorry.

Thank you very much, I am so glad you enjoyed it. My mind has recently gained some solace so your wishes for me have already been granted to an extent. Here lately I have not cared if it was selective or not.

Can't help but sing this to myself when I read this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2yy141q8HQ
Neat little write this one. Enjoyed the short phrasings of the stanzas. I enjoyed the thought of your thoughts being upstairs neighbours. Nobody likes their neighbours after all.
