With a heavy heart
this mind grows numb
stumbling through days
dumbed down through pills and pain

A re-creation of life
on the inside of my mind
that forgets to wind clocks,
that tick but don't tock

Insanity is slow
and the public aren't told
of the dependants that rot
but never live to get old

With one slipper on
and one sock not
a revolution of days
not lived, but marked off.
