Recipe For Me

1 cup of salt

5 gallons of tea

1 pinch of confidence

1 ton of anxiety

2 cups of English

Not enough Math

A dash of purple

A hint of blue

Stir in some gray as well

Maybe some butterflies

Definitely some birds

Sprinkle with insomnia

Inject with intrusive thoughts

½ a cup of cinnamon

Burn some sage over the bowl

1 teaspoon of emotions

2 quarts of laughter

3 gallons of dysphoria

As much pressure as you want

A smattering of disbelief

13 cups of Fridays

And some lavender as well

A thirst for blood

And a fear of the world

Don’t forget the acorns and pine sap

Clap if you believe in fairies

And pin their wings behind broken glass

2 teaspoons rosemary

1 clove smashed garlic

And a healthy glob of whipped cream

Bake until burnt

And serve with more tea
