Spark of Magnesium

I've been sleep walking through my life
Fighting the heavy numbness
Battling to feel a speck of joy
Digging deep under covers to the safest place to feel sorrow

Pretending because I know how I feel
I know who I love and how I want to treat them
But not feeling it

At times bigger emotions punch through
Debilitating grief
Surging anger
Quiet moments of peace

But I took one little pill daily

And I am awake
I can laugh that bone deep blooming joy spilling out
I can think again without it hurting
I can feel my emotions echoing through my body

No longer numb
No longer chasing dopamine and caffeine and sleep

One little pill

and I am myself again
