setraline

as he watched, helpless
her mind splintered
on the rocks of insanity
leaving behind
the shattered hull
of a once beautiful woman
sentenced to life
behind bars
of frustration and despair
a prison occupied
by those once calm
caught in the rapids of rage
thrown into a watery limbo
where meds no longer deliver
on the promise
of peace in her mind
where demons
having conquered science
use her cerebral cortex
for target practice
laughing maniacally
while shredding her soul
into bits of cosmic confetti
