Cosmic Martini
Jessica Spoto

Keeping up with the Kardasians
No, no
Keeping up with the Jones?
More like keeping up with my sanity
Ups and downs
A tilt a whirl of unregulated emotions
Depression, a thief robbing me
A lifetime of misery
Aching possibilities

Road of sharp gravel
Paving my journey, a struggle
Light at the end of the tunnel
More like a ray of sunshine beaming through the cracks of a cement fence
Barb wire tangled upon the edges

Fading moments
Blurred chemicals mixed up
Shaken not stirred
A cosmic martini of a human being
Describes me to a cup of boiling hot tea
No space in between my mind and my psycho personality
