Homeostasis

About the Artwork

For a second
I started to panic
Feeling somewhat
Manic
Spewing another obsessive rhyme
I can’t stand complaining
But boy I love to whine
Pretending I’m fine
Shortchanged victim of a crime
Counting my nickels and my dimes
Like I’ve done a thousand times
When I was in my prime
Now I’m older
No more wasting time
Waiting on life’s imaginary line
Confined in my mind
Crawling toward the exit sign
Clinging to the Divine
Constantly denying
I’m snow blind
Stumbling in the moment
Searching for tomorrow
Letting go of sorrow
Yet my heart is hollow
To fill the void
Don’t make me
Beg, steal, or borrow
I’ve always been straight as an arrow
On the straight and narrow
Soaring like a sparrow
My mother always told me I’m a
Hard act to follow
But it’s a folly
To think I’d throw in the towel
And grovel
Though that idea is novel
It’s a hard pill to swallow
I’ve been know to bellow
Now I’m left to wallow
Head on the pillow
My minds racing
Breath shallow
Mellow-yellow
Hey
I’m just the kind of
Fellow
To ask a personal favor
From the Heavenly Creator
You see
I’m on my best behavior
Please save me
My Redeemer
and
My Savior
