A lot of the time I want to give up on living. But if I look hard enough there's always a better choice, something worthwhile to do with my time. This time I wrote a short poem about how it feels to want to give up on living and surrender to my inner insanity. I call it "Goodbye, Reality." And before you ask, I've already begun optioning it to publishers as a pop-up children's book. Enjoy.

GOODBYE, REALITY

Goodbye, life
I gave you a try
I'm too proud to live
Too stubborn to die

Goodbye, world
I'm sure you'll agree
I'm nothing to you
You're too big for me

Goodbye, hope
You comforting song
You've withered away
I held you too long

Goodbye, friends
I joined a new team
Goodbye, reality
Hello, my dream
