State of My Head

Invested in the mission,

the future I envision.

Irreplaceable memories

and many life lessons.

Isn’t that why we’re here?

Time to kick it into gear,

step outside of all our fear..

Or what about our dreams?

Avoiding them like vaccines..

We can all subscribe

to live life’s supremes.

Don’t worry what they think,

complex little finks.

Small minds

that’d like to see you shrink.

A mindful react,

no time to hold back.

There’s a lot more to you

than what you think you lack.

Tough act to follow,

Hard pill to swallow.

Life can be so full,

to keep it from hollow.

Damn,

That’s the state of my head,

it’s own little world-

would you have guessed it?

I’m chasing that bread,

the quiet girl,

the one you don’t mess with;

I need to be fed.

I’m hungry to serve

the thing we call universe.

But I call it God,

the trainer of my thoughts.

A fucking miracle we’re here,

your reflection in the mirror.

Those glossy eyes

fixed on the prize.

You.

You’re already gold,

no need to sell your soul

for the fool’s hope

at the end of the road.

When you get there

you’ll want to be here-

nostalgic

for all those years.

A damned wild thing,

that curious brain.

Any day now,

this flesh and bone

can and will

disappear.

Invested in the mission,

the future I envision.

Irreplaceable memories

and many life lessons.

Right here,

right now-

These are moments

creating the human

being

and becoming.

Where happy

is a state of mind,

not a finish line.
