Survivor

I overwear my glasses to hurt my eyes.​

Underfeed myself so my mind's deprived.​

Dehydrate myself to get the headache kind.​

​

Watch the news to absorb some lies.​

Wait until the moment has arrived,​

and walk that lonely path into my mind.​

​

Into the protection from realities lies.​

Past the ridge where the memories hide.​

To where I sit and time becomes blind.​

​

Watch the view as my images die.​

Wait to talk to the one that survives,​

and ask him to live outside my mind.​
