happy pill

found

I lost my heart

but then you found it

tangled in the weeds

I once called civility

but I now know by a different name

I lost my mind

it's funny how

the ones who make you crazy

convince you

the rest of the world is insane

it's funny

except no one is laughing but me

because it feels so strange

to think with such clarity

and such calm

you are my life-giving ocean

washing over me

keeping me safe and warm and smooth

like a piece of broken glass

made into something beautiful

after being worn down by the waves

you've made me a heathen

in the most civil and wild way there is to be

because I've become me

and I am free
