he was
a broken branch
grafted
onto a different family tree
adopted
but not
because his parents opted for a different destiny
he was
three when he became a mixed drink
of one
part left alone
and two
parts tragedy
started
therapy in 8th grade
had a
personality made up of tests and pills
lived
like the uphills were mountains
and the
downhills were cliffs
four
fifths suicidal
a tidal
wave of anti depressants
and an
adolescence of being called popper
one part
because of the pills
and
ninety nine parts because of the cruelty
he tried
to kill himself in grade ten
when a
kid who still had his mom and dad
had the
audacity to tell him “get over it” as if
depression
is
something that can be remedied
by any of
the contents found in a first aid kit
