A Tale of Two Minds

Hello to the invisible mind that is me You engulf me and swallow me with pride and regret I've driven to pay my respects to you – Tonight I'm letting go. You can cry if you want, and scream if you must But there's no one in this head, no, just us. So take it back slow, guide it back home; It's not knowing where you are but where you've been that counts. I'll play a sad song at your mock-funeral, Maybe one, maybe two in a row. I want to laugh when they whisk you away And numb you with therapy that will never dull the pain. Sharp, beating, thriving in here With me in this hollow shell and you call me a person. But that do I think, or what which I know? I don't even make sense to me anymore. Goodbye to the invisible mind that is me – It's been a long journey, a trip meant to be. I'd like to say I'd miss you, but then, that would be a lie... But so far this whole life has been leading to this one small goodbye...
