reverse psychosis


they took me from the workplace
with complete brutality
my body slowly deteriorating
from the inside out
my mind awash in alcohol

my comfort zone disappeared
and I was left with nothing but
unanswered questions
reeling from a sickness
that struck without warning

I was told never to worry
that a new reality would unfold
how I would fall fast asleep
for nearly a lifetime
only to awaken as a god
