Hallucinogens

I've been on antidepressants

off and on

since I was ten.

But I think

I should have been sooner

because

the lights left my eyes

before they should have even been there

in the first place.

I have seen the shadows

of men running.

And the faces of those shadows

for a long time now.

And

I don't know if

I should

fear them

or follow them.

I think I hear things that aren't really there.

You know

like

Promises.

Like

Love.
