&quot;Me?<br /> Well, I&rsquo;m well. <br /> Well, I mean I&rsquo;m in hell.<br /> Well, I still have my health<br /> At least that&rsquo;s what they tell me<br /> If wellness is this, what in hell&rsquo;s name is sickness?&quot;


All the choices I'm making
They complicate my mind
All these chances I'm taking
My success has been fined
I think of all the people
the lives they're leading on
Some sliding down the pole
Some just as they had drawn
I tell them all I care
'Leave insecurities behind'
I promise, no, I swear
I never press rewind
I don't know if they believe
They can't accept my claim
It's easier to grieve
The guilt that fueled the shame

I think of all the people
Who complicate their minds
Some have lost their soul
I think I'm losing mine

...though this poem has a much different message, I should think.
