Today I said goodbye
To my sanity
Going to live
According to my
Inner values
Listen to the wolves
In the middle of the desert
The wasteland
Of my own thoughts
The one-way streets
Of my brain
The black holes
Of my consciousness
Listen to the owls
Flying overhead
Their infinite wisdom
Pointing the way
Today I said goodbye
To my former self
Going back to
Virtuous thought
To living in the moment
Hearing sounds
So pure
They transcend
Reality
Seeing colors
With eyes closed
Rainbows of
My mind
Today I said goodbye
To the world
Around me
To the stress
Of everyday life
To the lies
And illusions
To the bears
And the bulls
To the ups
And the downs
To friends
And enemies
To false promises
And hollow pleasures
I am me
I am free
