It Is What It Is

years ago no body knows and maybe even my genes told me so i fell from what i think i never will know and i sprained my brain unlike my ankle everyone kept pushing on it asking if this hurt or how about now does this give you any pain and so i gave in to the give and made them try pressing a little harder saying oh yeah that there hurts but then people stopped pushing walking away saying he's okay let him live life's a play so at first as an apprentice i took the part of the off screen extra just as if all were accepted then when came a time my mind played Berlioz's requiem in reverse i started obser ving i'm light years away and to this day i stay medicated with something my brain couldn't make but still my doctor says stop drinking

"spraining of the brain" - what a terrific idea! Mind if I borrow that part? I do love it!
