Serotonin

serotonin is a neurotransmitter in our bodies that is often linked to depression, as well as other mental illnesses such as anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, and anger issues. (WebMD).

My friend – she has –

issues

The kind that don’t make sense to me

The kind where she has to step over every line and crack on the ground

The kind where she has to straighten every paper on every desk

The kind where sometimes I get frustrated being patient

Even though I want to be a good friend.

My coworker – he has –

issues

The sort that makes him hard to talk to because everything pisses him off

The sort that makes it impossible to listen to the radio or turn on the news

The sort that leaves everyone around him walking on eggshells

The sort of rage that makes every day like walking on a tightrope

Even though I want to be supportive.

Me – I have –

issues

I am pessimistic to a fault and it’s grating on everyone’s nerves

I am lethargic and apathetic at every turn

I am without motivation and describe how lifeless I feel

I am aware that I am a burden to everyone around me

But I want to be more than nothing.

We all have –

issues

But they’re not simple things like a bad day or a crapshoot

These are issues linked to the dysfunction of our brains

serotonin

That’s what we’re told – a lack of this chemical that is supposed to make us normal

A chemical that is supposed to make our brains work the correct way

It stinks that its true but with these kinds of issues

what more can you do?
