INEFFECTIVE VIRUCIDE

[image error]

I’m paralyzed

Inside thoughts

I’ve overanalyzed

Finding demons

I’ve devised

I’m not surprised

It’s an everyday

Compromised and

Fertilized in fear

And perfectly

Standardized

Inside my mind

Clarified and

Glorified amen

My logic vaporized

An ineffective virucide

No longer quarantined

And left to colonize

Inside your love

*I was thinking about Alien today and wanted to write about how depression effects us much like an alien organism that lives inside us.
