My mind is flying
In a million directions
At once.

I can't concentrate,
I feel like my brain
Is flipping through
TV stations...

And can't find anything
Worth watching.

I need to relax,
To feel the tension
Seep through my body
Into thin air.

I feel so fucked up,
So I decided to write
To soothe my tattered
Nerves.

All I want right now
Is peace of mind,
And of heart.

What am I trying to say?

The pressure is beginning
To get to me,
But I won't crack.

I have a safety valve,
That opens when I
Need it.

The world spins on
As my mind reels,
And my fingers fly.

I need to see my dreams
Realized, or I'll go
Insane.

But I know they will be,
Sooner or later.

I only wish it was sooner.

I've always dreamed of fame,
I've always dreamed of fortune,
But all I want now is to be
At one with myself.

It will happen,
My appointment with destiny
Must be kept.

My brain switches to the next
Channel...

I feel my concentration
Return,
And my nervousness subside

As tonight's performance
Fades into shadow.

More of the mystery unfolds,
Locked deep within my brain,
The creative spark that makes
My life worthwhile.

I feel the fire grow,
And warm my psyche's hands
Over its dancing flame.

Inside the flickering light
I see my reflection
Through a funhouse mirror,

Distorted, but still
Within I see my true self.

The mystery remains.
