Nobody's noise

The voices in my head

The things you left unsaid

Or which i said 

Haunt me in my dreams

Takes grotesque forms 

Scar my sacred school grounds

My hopeful yesterday should not be seeing

The somewhat disappointing today

Turned too loud 

Even a melaconcholic symphony is

A cruel cacophony 

A wound caused by words 

Never truly heals

My subconscious is

Just one infinite reel

Help me move on

 to the next scene

Should you not speak at all?

No it's not that hard

Just be kind

Treat me like you 

Inherently expect me to

Treat you

Its not  your birthright

To subject me to noise

Just because you are deaf

To sounds of the ones you allegedly love

Alchemist

Prompt: Take a negative concept and turn it into something positive.

I am an altruistic alchemist

Can turn your grief into gold

locked in the four chambered

safety deposit box

known as your heart.

Yes, despite your baffling belief,

you definitely have one.

I can turn your alert anxiety

into adrenaline × agility.

Why lean into

artificial intelligence when

you can be a superhuman?

I can make you forgive

your parents —

they did their best after

all —

and most important

of all,

make you love yourself

and show yourself

the grace you extend

unto others.

I am your therapist.

Don’t forget our call!
