Bursts of Sanity
An ode to the lost bits of myself
If I could go back in time
I’d search around desperately for the pieces of my mind
I don’t know when they left me
But I do know I wasn’t ready
Now I crave peace of mind
And lately I find
It’s something we all left behind
Stolen from us
But not through crime
Broken off us
We can’t see through the grime
Sometimes I glimpse it in moments of silence
Mostly I reach for it in moments of violence
Life is cruel
It has too much fuel
We’re quickly losing to all these fools
If you see it
Show me the way
If you meet it
Bask in the grey
My peace is in pieces
I can’t cease the ceaseless
No peace for the peaceless
It’s all so egregious

How, Too
Many people wonder how, too. You are not alone, and I am an expert. I will teach you how, too! First, you need to remit a small application fee and fill out an application describing the nature of your financial situation and how often payments will be made, as this will have great bearing on how well I teach you how, too.
