"Side effects may include"

     Standing infront of the neighbors window, he wonders if he's really insane
     His psychiatrist assures that only sane people question thier sanity, when genuinely madmen are always convinced of thier rationality
     He watches the family
     Wanting what they have
     He laughs
     Thinking about how he sits next door with his dead Chocolate Lab, cracking jokes on how he likes his pets like he likes his cigarettes cause he can take them both out back at night for a drag
     Out of nowhere his mood modifies, tears blur the vision of both eyes
     Overwhelmed by isolation and oppressed by the meaninglessness of his own life
     Folding his arms across his chest, around both sides
     Hugging himself
     Shaking his head with his forehead resting in vain against the windowpane, commencing to cry
     Next thing he knows anger arrives, turning stone cold as jealousy bestows over the maniac for what the household holds
     KILL EM ALL
     KILL EM ALL
     Pops a few Zoloft and let's the effect take him under control
     He calms down
     No need to butcher them now
     The familys safe
     It's ok
     Atleast untill his medication begins wearing away
