Hour One – When the Mental Illness Did Not Go Away

The day I graduated from the group home,

They took me off the Prozac.

 

I wouldn’t say the world made a mockery of my breath the next day.

It was a gradual sharpening of the tongue.

 

I believed I was fixed.

I believed I could make the world my own if I simply wanted it enough.

 

Maybe, I just didn’t want it

Enough.
