Why do you probe and probe his mind,
your queries a craniotomy?
What is it you expect to find,
some error of physiognomy?
His mind is well beyond your sight –
a puzzle sans solution.
Pure physics can't explain his plight,
nor give pain resolution.
So go ahead, prescribe your pills –
Perhaps we will note change this time.
And should his sorrows rack him still,
prescribe some more – just give it time.
But at some point you'll come to ask
'Is there aught wrong, that I can find?'
That's when you'll take his pain to task:
'There is no pain. It's just your mind.'

The Awakening, Chapter 7
His eyes widening and a sudden exhale of breath were the only signs that Sesshomaru, Lord of the Western Lands, had even registered Kagomes actions.
The stoic Lord had frozen in place, unable to force the simple act of removing the now distraught female from his person. He was certain his carefully placed mask had crumbled, and was positive he was showing more emotion now than he had in his entire existence.
Eyes wide, eyebrows raised and his mouth still open from the gasp that had betrayed him.
He was also sure that no one, at least anyone who had a healthy respect of life, had ever dared attack his person in such a manner, and so he told

The Awakening, Chapter 8
Sesshomaru strode forward towards the gates, as Rin, Jaken and Kagome followed steadily in his footsteps.
Kagome could not keep the look of awe of her face as they passed through the gates into the courtyard, her eyes darting from side to side in an attempt to take in everything the building had to offer.
Their small party came to a halt just before the tall wooden doors, leaving Kagoome to almost run into the back of the demon lord. Throwing a small apologetic glance in his direction, she moved her gaze to two male youkai who approached their position. They where dressed in similar attire, which let Kagome to suspect they worked for Sessho

I'm not sure about the title - I will probably change it in the future.
Is it not ironic that I'm criticising what I hope to be my future profession?
('take to task' -> berate, admonish
craniotomy -> The surgical procedure for removing a part of the skull to gain access to the brain)

I really like the rhythm and rhyme scheme. Not to mention there was some fascinating imagery you bring up. In fact, this makes the imagination run a bit wild. (Can't seem to help but think of imagery from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" and cartoon parodies of the psychiatry profession.) It'd be intriguing to try to illustrate.
Hmm... I can't help but feel in favor of academia when it comes to science and, more specifically, medicine. Here-say from laymen (even the layman patient) about ineffectiveness makes me feel they are impatient (and a bit ignorant...) Credentials are kind of important.
I've got a loved one that is constantly saying 'it doesn't work' to all the medication prescribed for his condition. He's constantly shuffled different medications- not really giving them the chance (it would seem.) I don't think he understands the chemistry and biology involved in how they work. I imagine it should take months to see- after all its trying to create a functional chemical environ in the brain (it's not magic... nor a panacea.)
Bleh, sorry for the rant. This is all speaking from a person deeply fascinated by the sciences and plans to go for toxicology. I do also have an interest in how the brain ticks.
