Trying, To remember your name. Losing your ground. Control of your brain. What is my reflection. Time has passed it through. Staring down the brown iris, Staring back at you. Who? Panic from a distance, Hurting as it dwells. Calling for assistance, Though you know it all too well. Ohhhh, I’m stuck boarding that plane. Off to that same place, Where you forget your name. Crossing out my patterns, Feel its just a matter of minutes away. Feeling my life slip, Feeling my eyes rip, A hole through the floor. I cannot fight it, Identity Crisis, Forgetting who I am anymore. Dreams are, A place meant for peace. But sometimes they’re wicked. Tearing me. Waiting for my answer, As if I meant it well. Hard pressed for disaster. Found myself in hell. Who am I kidding. Who am I at all? Hard to tell who’s winning. But I guess we’re meant to see. Oh please, forget I said, Teaches me, how to be. Can’t hold it in anymore. I cannot fight it, Identity Crisis. Yeah.

IMPROVISED It’s been a long way. And everything seems to fade. And I don’t really mind, Been wasting my time. Yeah yeah yeah. Driftin’ around. Wonderin’ what to do. Here in my cell again. I’m bleedin’. It’s been a long time, It’s been a really long time.
