Miles and miles of mind,
All of which are less productive,
Every word is more and more destructive,
People look in my mind like it’s a window blind,
All these thoughts leave me resigned,
Everything makes me obstructive,
Death is seductive,
One day I’ll be left behind.
Maybe death is the answer,
It’s better than being left alone,
Maybe one day all my fears will be confirmed,
Maybe I’ll die of cancer,
I want to decay down to the bone,
Only then I will be affirmed.
