Valium

I don’t need you-

to feel whole,

to fill holes

(in fact, you leave me empty).

I had pins and needles

in place of feelings,

and a pill-pack

in place of friends.

Eyes open but not seeing;

you blinded me.

Numb to pain-

too pained to feel
LEAVE ME ALONE- I beg of you.

I stomp you into soil

and planted you.

You’ll never grow,

but I will.

I don’t need you-
