The Edge of Insanity

Take me to the edge of insanity

Wipe my mind free of the hostility,

and the lies.

Take me,

where up is up and down is down,

where real is real and fake is not

the words I hear coming from my TV.

Show me that place

where love is love

and hate is a word I used to know

but can’t remember what it means.

Take me.

Let me stand on the edge of a mindless abyss

and tell me that none of this real is real.

But if it’s true

that my eyes don’t deceive me,

that my ears tell no lies,

that it simply is what it is,

then leave me in that place and let me fall,

because I’m about ready

and so, so willing

to lose my mind.
