Downward Spiral

The rabbit is a liar and the tea is cold. 
Some say I view my world as half-empty. I've always thought myself realistic maybe even pragmatic. Compared to others, I will admit that my views may be a bit odd in nature. Mayhaps I go about things the wrong way. Then again where is the fun in the right way? Everyone travels the right path... What's so wrong with the left? I like a little adventure in my life. A few swift curves, a couple of dead-ends and maybe a few kicks while you're down. I was under the impression that all paths consisted of these. 
But enough about me. What about you? Do you ever feel as if you could flay your skin from your bones and it still wouldn't change matters for the better? Ever get excited about the prospect of yet another disappointment? Do you ever wonder what in the bloody hell is next? I've decided to partially agree with the notion of not letting such things get you down. I get anxious awaiting the next obstacle. I wonder if it will be creative or if I can predict it. I rather enjoy the silly mind games involved. This isn't to say that I don't try to change matters. I mean that would be pretty childish and redundant, don't you think? I believe my fate is in my own mind. You can't exactly hold a fate...wait...no that would be ridiculous.
I constantly strive to improve myself and my surroundings. I control every aspect of my life. Any failings are my own. Why on earth anyone would try to take that blame is beyond me. I certainly wouldn't place it on anyone. It would look silly on anyone else. Its sized just right for me, didn't you know? I will have to tell you all about it sometime. Not this time and certainly not the next but soon I assure you. As if you could hardly wait. 
Has anyone seen that damn rabbit? He was supposed to be here an hour ago.

Is this my mind?

The pieces are everywhere.
Strewn about without care.
The image is broken. Oh no, Oh my.
How will I ever put it together?
I can't see straight in this haze.
Surely there are missing fragments.
How will I find them all?
I don't feel lost or as if anything is missing...
yet there are parts of me everywhere!!
Oh me, Oh me
Where have I gone?
Oh ho, Ah ha
I haven't disappeared anywhere
Here I am, complete and whole
Its merely a shattered mirror sitting there
How clumsy, How dreadfully dull
Not only do I now have a case of bad luck
There's no puzzle to solve anymore
Woe is me. My sense is back
Unchallenged, bother the bore
The fun has been found wanting and lack

Never on Time

Dodge, Dip, Dive
Hurtling over, around and through
The obstacles vary and never stay the same
I tip-toe here and charge there
Rarely do I laugh without care
Tick Tock! The clock strikes true
The insane droning, a constant reminder
If only to rip them from the walls
Duck, Ditch, Divert
I find the random twists and turns
Yet here I am once again
I swear I went straight
when I end up in circles
"I'm late! I'm late!" I scream at the world
Everything is swirling out of control
I have to find the way
How will ever stay in sync
I keep missing vital steps
Time is almost up
My appointment was nigh an hour ago
I hope the tea isn't cold
