I went downstairs And my mother gave me a strange look She heard a thud & assumed I'd hanged myself I can see myself dangling But that never happened I dont know how to tie a noose My friend texted me Saying she had a dream that I died She asked me if I was alive I sure thought I was I've been time-hopping A lot more this month I really have been Getting my own timeline mixed up I'll accidentally slip into the past Red brick and pink nails Or I'll feel myself experiencing the future too early That means I have yet to live, doesnt it? Or does it mean I have been spared? Does God know that I've begun to reconsider His presence? Or is it another force that mocks me And dangles me on this thread For yet another day I lit a candle today The flame felt cursed
