A Visit With the Shrink

A VISIT WITH THE SHRINK

         SAY YOU WOULD LIKE TO PICK MY MIND 
        YOU TELL ME IT'S TRULY, ONE OF A KIND 
       I'M NOT SURE WHAT YOUR TRYING TO DO 
           BUT I WILL PLAY ALONG WITH YOU 
       I'M GETTING OLD IT'S HARD TO REMEMBER 
  I FORGET THE YEAR THE MONTH WAS SEPTEMBER  
  I'M LOOSING MY MIND NOT SURE WHERE IT GOES
  I WATCHED IN THE MIRROR TO SEE IF IT SHOWED 
             OUT OF MY EARS UP AND AROUND 
          LEAVES MY HEAD WITH OUT A SOUND 
       OUT THROUGH MY EYES AND INTO THE AIR
         NO ONE DIRECTION JUST EVERY WHERE 
           IT HAPPENS SO SLOW, YET SO FAST 
            I AM NOT SURE HOW LONG IT LAST 
          I UNDERSTAND, I'M AHEAD OF MY TIME 
         MY BODY STILL HERE JUST NOT MY MIND

Darren White April 12, 2017 at 10:40 AM Real nice rhyme, and very funny :) I hope this will not ever happen to me in real life! Michael E. Harris April 12, 2017 at 12:40 PM Thank you Darren. It was intended to be funny. It's nice to know others can see the humor.
