In My Mind

I see the news and it’s all bad
Except for the fact that it’s not about me
And I feel so very pleased
In my mind

I hear the people complaining
Except the ones who are just too tired
And I quit listening and find peace
In my mind

I smell the body odor and bad breath
Except in the winter, when my nose is stuffy
And I try to think of good smells
In my mind

I taste the acid at the back of my throat
Except when I’m hungry and have no food
And I’ve lost the taste for life
In my mind

I feel nothing anymore
Except for this bleak, depressing blackness
And I feel something snap
In my mind

  4. A logical progression- but nothing a wintertime trip to a tropical place couldn't cure!
    I was gonna say Florida- but that's freezzing too-
    N did you see that Florida school board shooter guy on the news to write this?
