Another Brash Decision


 

I know you think I’m delusional

And maybe I am

But I have enough faith in passion

To inch out onto that tiny branch and leap

There is a small chance that I could fly

It goes against all logic and wisdom of humanity 

But I have dotted-line wings

And enough raw depth to enjoy the decent

If it is, in fact, inevitable

It’s the same stupidity of my forced insomnia

And hopefully it will have the same effect-

Intense focus despite my hurting eyes and shaking bones

I’ll thrive with my dumb decision

Just as I always have
