Faux Mannequin

A deeper dive into my personal experience with addiction.

Dopamine dreamcatcher,

Leave me unfettered

In my own funhaus mirror.

Christen me in colors

Vibrantly demure,

Until the prism shatters.

 

I am suspended,

Like a faux mannequin,

Until I am flaunted again

At your nauseating whim.

 

Return me to that mesmeric, fractal realm

Between hollow Heaven and hallowed Hell.
