Pictures in Your Mind – Written December 2003 (Aged 28)

Pictures in Your Mind

if i have the issues
well, that is fine
but a quick glance around me
confirms that the world –
is out of its mind
so, that is fine
but please do not think for a second
to all this –
i am blissfully blind
that i do not know my problems
that i do not know my own mind
i think it is sweet consolation
i think it is just something sweeter
this need to categorise
to judge each other
to look at maps reflected in our eyes
if i have the problems –
well, that is fine
but can you honestly say –
that pictures in your mind
are so absolutely perfect time after time
