LOST STATE OF MIND

By Liz Laycak

So hard to write a happy ending

When it's the rules I'm bending

Just to please you.

To myself i cannot be true.

This is not me, not the way I wanted it to be

I am never satisfied

And you are rarely welcome

By my side.

To be on my own,

To be in control,

A need to be content is all I've ever known.

My head shakes

In the midst of a power hungry craze.

All of this insignificance takes

A toll on my heart to the end of my days.

Stars shining over

This shady, run down town.

I'm telling you now: it's over.

I'll be on my way, baby.

Don't rush it now, it's not meant to be, baby.

Leave me now to peace and euphoria

Let the tide settle your temper

Let the waves carry your lifeless, but not souless body to the sea.

Don't you ever return again, past your outrageous triumphs, to me.

Let me run wild in this forever

Lost state of mind.
