today i slipped away again
discoved myself abruptly absent
void of any sense of sound existence
i picked through my pockets
dredged beneath my bed
positively ransacked my room
my car is left a display of extreme calamitous anarchy
i knew it...
i've lost my mind again
its the third time this week
and now its permanent
irreversable
i knew it...
what do they call this...literally losing your mind?
i know i must be a classic case of something
with only the little amount of cogent logic i had left
and now it's gone...gone
i am fortune's foe
do not look at me
i am hidious
a body disassociated from it's mind
a sailor without his compass
i must to lie down
it's getting so cold
whatever you do...stay away from the light
the end is near
for without my mind i am nothing
vacant and fruitless
leave me here to decay
feed me to the worms
oh wait...here it is
right on my dresser where i left it

I love the ending of this. OH YES! Did you read my head? This is me all over. Maybe it's universal. Do you think?

Ku'uipo -- I have to tell you that this is my daughter and also my best friend. Now, this is was what I call DRAMA.

This is so very funny and so sadly true. Thanks for the chuckle.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

smiling, I enjoyed this very much, considering I lost my mind in this particular forum too. Been looking for it all week and it still ain't there...but at least I found this.

Thanks for the smile.
