Many times we search to fill the void
For something that will balance our scales
With many chemicals we have toyed
Other times we have found, and enjoyed
The peace and harmony that prevails
Many times we search to fill the void
Yet there are some that become annoyed
When we lose our heart, it never fails
With many chemicals we have toyed
The seven demons are often deployed
Working mischief in their dusty trails
Many times we search to fill the void
Even a doctor such as Sigmund Freud
Turned to cocaine for numbness it entails
With many chemicals we have toyed
Fear releases the adrenal steroids
There is a real spirit for what ails
Many times we search to fill the void
With many chemicals we have toyed

I Enjoyed writing this. It is the only villanelle I have written that does not use the word love, though a tried to make my heart provide the rythmn
