My grasp on reality
in patterns over my eyes
the vibrations, sensations,
draw
me
far
from
this
life.
Down two pills,
climb two levels.
Mind rises to heaven,
Body falls to pebbles.
Smile brightly at the world,
with eyes that cast black shadows.
My mind is racing,
but my thoughts are spacing.
I taste the music's every word
close my eyes, and hide the blur.
My heart tuned to a hummingbird.
I'm providing depression with my own cure.
Another sleepless night awaits
for the colors and delusions my mind creates.
climbing back down with anger and pain,
hoping that no one will see my shame
In some time I will be returning
to lay with my thoughts and try to rest
some ask if it's worth it, all things concerning,
and, for some reason, I always say yes.

In some time I will be returning
