Mad Scientist

it's just chemicals they say
that's all it is.

your body is made of tons and we feed them
more skin.

they combine and explode, like a
mad scientist
who isn't sure it he's
jekyll
or hyde.

it is just science they say,
you learned it in school but because
of those chemicals
i couldn't

focus

enough to

b r e a t h e
and those dark spots

took
over
me

like a tornado in the alley of
the street down the road
that is covered in hair
and used condoms.

it is just a lesson in life,
that no matter the meds or the deep breathes
you take,
the voice of jekyll

( or is it hyde? )

tells you how to live with the chemicals
pumping
through your veins as you feed
them more skin.
your skin.
the skin that bruises and burns and bleeds when
cut.

oh hyde he was once happy
but the chemicals burned like ash
and only jekyll could
make
him
whole

once again.
