Dopamine
This is a kind of odd poem. I remember exactly who I wrote it about and when I wrote it – I just don’t remember why I felt the way I felt about him. Hindsight is a funny thing. I think I was in a biochem class at the time as well, because I can’t think of where else I’d think of writing a poem about neurotransmitters.
This isn’t particularly good, but for some reason this poem has always amused me. Probably because of the way that I so OBVIOUSLY (and naively) thought I was saying something profound. The pretension just screams through (at least it does to me) and makes me laugh now that I have a bit more life experience under my belt.
Enjoy.
Dopamine
The more you give the more I need
To keep me still
To keep me satisfied
The more I take the less you give
Just enough to keep me
Coming back for more
Just enough to keep me
Completely hooked on you
Eventually, though, you’ll see
Eventually, you’ll understand
That the more you keep me hanging on
The the less I’ll stay
The more I’ll turn elsewhere
To get the high I should get from you
