For my Asshole of a Mind

My mind sits on the edge
of a very tall building
and hangs it's feet over the ledge

It walks like a tightrope
on the railing, for those who need to
Feel safe
As they enjoy the beautiful view

The views much better
When you can hardly breath
And adrenaline runs
Up and down your spine

My mind screws me over
It's got me messed up
I sit on the edge and think
"I'm really fucked"

The views much better
When the heavens are a few inches
Closer to your head
And hell's a little further
From grabbing onto your toes
And never letting go

I feel like I'm floating
But I am taking short breaths
I know that I'm falling off the railing
But there's nothing left to catch this
Poor soul
Already lifeless
Already rolling those pretty hazel eyes
Far to the back of my head

I've been gone
since the day I was born
but today,
My pulse had slowed and
it is for sure

I'm still here
My body in tack
But my mind is somewhere
Far, far away

Let's say it ran
To neverland
I've always wanted to go
My Mind goes there
when I'm sad

It takes me to a meadow
Of fairies,
Blue and orange and green
I lie in the grass
Close my eyes
And chuckle the world away
