I’m falling Falling Falling Down the abyss of dementia. Caressed by darkness. Entranced by silence’s lullaby. Sing me the song of melancholy. Play me the tune of self-loathing. I want to dance to the beat of regret, An eternal replay of past mistakes. Leave me be! My tongue yearns to lick The wounds that adorn my decaying body. Let me swim in my beloved salty Lake of tears, A cistern polluted by haunting memories. I’m surrounded by multitudes, yet I’m utterly alone. Alone. Or am I? What is that you say? The key to my chains has been in my pocket All along?! You’re telling me the pain will mollify Once I remove my hand from the fire?! Ingenious. What a brilliant proposition. I’m the captain of my own ship, and it will Sail to wherever my heart lies.

The Choice
I’m falling Falling Falling Down the abyss of dementia. Caressed by darkness. Entranced by silence’s lullaby. Sing me the song of melancholy. Play me the tune of self-loathing. I want to dance to the beat of regret, An eternal replay of past mistakes. Leave me be! My tongue yearns to lick The wounds that adorn my decaying body. Let me swim in my beloved salty Lake of tears, A cistern polluted by haunting memories. I’m surrounded by multitudes, yet I’m utterly alone. Alone. Or am I? What is that you say? The key to my chains has been in my pocket All along?! You’re telling me the pain will mollify Once I remove my hand from the fire?! Ingenious. What a brilliant proposition. I’m the captain of my own ship, and it will Sail to wherever my heart lies.
