Off Balance

I woke up this morning Let out a huge sigh As I looked in the mirror At my twitching left eye It took me a moment or two To see what was wrong with me Seems I lost a few lashes As I was visiting dreams in my sleep That's when I started counting Seven, eleven, twenty four, twenty seven When I reached thirty one It was just as I suspected I know how many I had When I went to bed last night Because I wrote it down in my journal The magic number...thirty nine Not sure I'll be able to handle All the laughter, all the shame After all I do have this image I've worked years on to pertain With all my lashes intact on the right All that I can think Is how truly off balance I'll appear to be
