In the syringe.

She saw the nurse
holding the syringe
labeled a bad mood
and quickly she thought,
How would it be any different
why not succumb
and accept it?
Wouldn’t it be easier
to be regulated
even if it’s anger and sadness
at a high intensity
rather than a mixture of all
happy, excited, surprised, sad, angry, frustrated
the list continues
unsure of which feeling will appear
at least she’d know
the words for the feeling
she was feeling at every moment.

Thanks for reading.
