Something to calm me
alleviate, soothe, unwind.

Something to numb me
desensitize, deaden, benumb.

Something to lift me
revivify, elate, awaken.

Something to please me
satisfy, fulfill, indulge.

Each little affection that I
want, need, yearn for
all concocted into my
Recipe for sanity.

It flows so well, and the image is startling in its simple complexity. I like it!

if revenge is best served cold, i'm guessing sanity is best served warm.
warm enough to unfreeze the darkest corners of one's mind.

i enjoyed this.

The soul is oftentimes a battlefield where reason and judgement wage war on passion and appetite.
