To Fix the Broken

Begin the procedure with anesthesia.

The patient sleeps, 

peacefully waiting to be fixed.

Scalpel in hand, make a careful cut.

Drill through the skull, 

just like replacing a loose screw.

Inside, the brain is diseased, 

filled with too much of the past.

Excise the blackened brain, 

all the parts which bring suffering.

Slowly remove the screams which echo

within the head of this poor soul.

Once silence is achieved,

stitch up the skin.

Do not be alarmed when the patient awakens.

Their eyes are meant to be dull.

Their mouth will move slowly,

sharing their gratitude.

Pain is gone, memories forgotten.

They are fixed.
