On the day that I lost my name
I took a nice long walk
To the edge of infinity,
Searching for it
You know, they say the earth is round
And as I leaned to peer over the side of it
There, lay a vast blanket of outer space
No continuous ground— like they said
No path to move on from
Dead-end roads and deadened feet
Had led me to this edge, where
I cut myself on contemplative thorns
“At what point did he stop loving me?”
“My friends are gone”
“Rehab couldn’t fix me”
“I don’t want to wake up tomorrow”
No, the world isn’t round
My thoughts are round
And so are my vices
Always spinning and falling
Into a perpetual mental cycle
So when I looked beyond the cliffs of my flat Earth
Into the depths of nothingness
I pondered what it would feel like
To
tippy
toe
my way over
To lose myself forever
If I never wake up tomorrow
Would they remember my name?
