New Brain Wanted

New brain wanted.

After some time together my current brain and I have decided to take some time as his current living habits are clashing with mine.

He talks all night. Leaves on the lights brings friends round all the time and the frontal lobe is a bombsite.

Sometimes I let my mind wander.

It's good for him to get out and it gives me a chance to mend.

He doesn't seem to get up to much when I leave him unattended.

Besides ponder a long list of amends.

Goes on the bend.

Tells me I have no friends and fucks off to bed.

And I don't mind my mind as such. But we spend a lot of time together and don't talk much. Plus between you and me he's a bit of a grump. leaving self deprecating graffiti over the cranium walls like. 'Nobody loves you.' 'It's never all right.' And one time I swear it said 'Fuck the whites.' Right next to another bit that said 'for a good time, call Mike.' Although in hindsight he may have been drunk that night.

So I need a change in my state of mind. Something to say I'll be all right.

Because to wake up each day and receive a barrage of self deprecation alongside the varying shades of hate from the ill kept bedroom in my brain. Is not ok.
