HOW AM I NOT MYSELF?

you think you're in control?
tell your heart to stop beating
hold your breath and die

so now we're on a roll
we know that life is fleeting
but it wills us not to die

and what about the witness
just the one inside your mind
who watches how you think

it takes agility and fitness
training your thoughts to find
the things you want to think

i have three times before today
wanted to be over and gone, asleep
and not have to wake up

but today, there is a new way
to love, profoundly, lions and sheep
are you afraid to look up?
