Paper Boat


Subtle shift in flow

Perceptions altered in state

Body calmly rests

Note to self -
Who do you think you are?
What makes you tick?
Why so glib with your remarks?...

Do you see what I see?
Are you connected to my senses?
Or do you live in a separate dimension?

Deranged and estranged entanglement.
If you are me then what am I?

I glare bewilderingly into my reflection,
and ask, who's this guy?

Life Jacket


I can’t shake this feeling of being dead inside

I’ve tried all the drugs and therapy that you can supply

Lost in a world created to decieve

Help me find the map that I need

Show me the route

That leads me to the truth

Then I can escape

From this distorted mistake

Get me back to the realm of normal

Let my eye’s see into the portal

When you come looking for me

I’ll be in that place that rests between the sky and the sea
