Ode to my Mind

Ode to my Mind

Dear Mind,

They called me something crazy
when I looked up at the sky
to tempt the raging storm clouds
and proclaim “I’ll never die!”

They called me something foolish
when I jumped out of a plane,
laughing as I pulled the chord -
they all thought I was insane.

They called me something bonkers
as I took that hundred dollar bill
and gave it to a homeless man
just to hear his laughter trill.

They called me something psycho
as my face spread a devilish grin.
“I’ve gone and lost my mind,” I said
but losing you was my biggest win.
