Thank you
I found a bird inside a ravaged landscape
Contorted faces with the chemical reactions
The product of my own mind
I get trapped here now and again
But this creature breathes stability in a world otherwise abandoned to its own devices
Anybody that truly knows me can attest to my tenacious mental mess
I suppose it is noble that you wish to rationalize the irrational
But this is not a game
Nor is it a movie portrayed with a Hollywood tint
Some things are best left for nature's unfolding
Still
She said she found my insanity offensive and delightful
If I had the constitution for marriage I would have proposed right there
That may be the nicest thing anyone has ever said too me
Unfortunately I can barely handle myself
With the exception of a now and again nomadic turtle
So I let her go knowing I will only complicate
I am only a danger to myself
why make you watch?
Please don't misconstrued
I know my madness is nothing special
But it is mine not yours
You have yet to see true unnerving
I would do my best to guide you to a safe oasis
Still it would fade and shrivel with our collective consciousness
Let someone else do the unraveling
Let someone else make you whole
I try to be a good person
Even if that means the occasional hatred from you
