Anti-Gravity

by Nightshade-444

I have no sense of gravity. Awards become decoration, medals nought but hunks of metal. Achievements become unnecessary, and accomplishments become too much effort. I have no sense of gravity. My life will flip on its end, and I will flip to match it. I've got the devil talking on both shoulders, so I stole an angel for my head. I have no sense of gravity. Some will call it a problem, Others will scream it's a tragedy. They're all wrong. I call it anti-gravity.
