My Life

Everybody I know has lost their minds, and some days I wish I was crazy too.

Then I could get some sleep.

This way I could keep looking around for X to jump, trying to catch Y before he picks up the one night stand for the second time, and imagining Z cutting his wrist, A,B,C & D all running down 42nd street . . . . .

Everybody I know is recovering form some affair

They are wishing for mister right, looking for miss true, and I can't get any rest

I am so tired and nerve worn.

When the antelopes and gazelles peeped through my window I had to invite them in.

The conversations I was having weren't important to exclude the animals of note.

I did bite my tongue at the mentioning of Jean Harlow and Freddie Washington

My friends are just ridiculous, though I have not changed my associations.

I just talk about fantasy and my dreams running wild in the real world rather then in our own fade

Just please, no one say:

"And this is your life no matter how you will try to change it. Your life is unchangeable."

To then I will reply that my dreams will let me change my life how I please.

So no one try to change themselves when those around are the ones who do.
