Electrifying, so alive
while the mind goes black
Feelings thrive
all at once..
can it please stop?
tapping fingers
crunched up toes
never ready
never set
but always goes
all around me
deep inside me
turning stomach
nervous blow
all the air, intoxicated
filling quickly inside my throat
worries worries
something's wrong
3, 2,1
finally done
one more breath
relaxation
there it goes,
Here it comes…
There once was a man named Claude
Who married his cousin Maude
Their kith did heartily celebrate
As they wed within the family state
Of genetic accord were Maude and Claude

There are days when you feel that
nothing could get better.
And there are days when you feel
that nothing could get worse.
When you're having a great day,
remember the bad
so you know
why it's good.
On a bad day remember
the good so you
know they can
be better.

Sometimes I love to walk
And run
And hide from places
where others might be too
I love going deeper
farther
faster
than the others
I climb to the farthest rock
Walk the longest distance
Go the deepest
And in those moments
I feel I could disappear
I could disappear
In the heights of opportunity
In the depth of unknown
In the danger of the length
Hoping that no one will notice
I sit
I search
I disappear
In the hope that I have gone somewhere
Nobody has been before
And seen a sight
Or felt a feeling
Or heard a tune
That only I can explain
And let them imagine it
