Sleeping Beauty (Mellow Yellow) Poem by Axley Jade Blaze

Stick a pin—
Through the eye
Add the Klono to its title,
But, don't you ever question why?

Treatment—
It's labeled
That's what they say.
But, all I seem to do
Is lay, comatose every day

These treats
Are quite deadly
The solution seems fatal.
The idea; was clarity;
to be healthy and more stable.
Yet, I'm only subdued.
Quiet, not quite whole
I feel more like I'm cuffed,
in this bottomless hole

Sleeping Beauty—
A child, restrained
Indeed, I'm not rage-filled;
Unholy and untamed
But is this the answer?
The Benzo Paradise
Not convinced it cures me
Though, it definitely lures me.
Yet, deep down, I cry.
I still weep, and I still bleed.
As I shovel them in,
Off the benzos—I still feed
Heart slows down
Pulse starts to twitch.
But, the drugs still fail,
to turn on the happiness switch.
Gaining strength,
I awake from my trance.
I decide on life—
I decide I'll take the chance.
Chucking the pills,
I say; so long
I'm singing my own tune
I'm penning my own song!
Disposal, now—
Of the ‘pin
It's time to start a new journey—
For once, I want to win!
