The morning starts with a jiggle to the small orange bottle containing capsules to get me in the mood to mingle.
Staring down at the yellow capsules, I contemplate whether to add another one or stick to the dosage given to me.
The instructed dosage does little to nothing.
It hardly gets the edge off and to deal with the fakeness that's about to be swarming the day.
I need my forged happiness to be on cloud 9.
Another one won't hurt, mi been a stick to the dosage since forever
I shake the bottle again, watching intentively as another capsule joins the other 2.
Without thought, I lift my cupped hands to my mouth, throwing my head back—swallowing them dry.
A shiver runs down my spine at the feeling of them sliding down my bare throat.
I've been taking them for a long while now and all now mi caah stop feel that way when I take them.
Hands on the edge of the counter, I grip on it for dear life. Steadying my body while I wait for the pills to take effect.
My eyes lock onto my reflection in the mirror, my mind instantly dashing to scrutinize every article of clothing, clung to my skin.
It starts with picking at the silk PJs to then redoing my hair.
Mi mind suh rass unsettled
And it expected ennuh...
Anybody would feel the way I do now, the past couple of weeks have been agony
The door squeaks open and I dash to place my hands against it, shutting it close. "Is me, Jan" Javel whispers and I hiss.
Just 10 minutes me ask fah to miself.
To collect my thoughts and get myself together so that I'm not a sour presence in everyone's day today.
"I asked for 10 minutes, Jav. Just ten" Pushing my body further into the door, I stand there with my shoulders slacked and tears threatening to fall.
