State of Mind    by Jane Geoghean
 
I'm sorry.
I never meant what I said.
I was in a state of mind that kills.
It eats away at you all the time.
It tells you that it's all not worth it.
It tells you that it will all be over soon just do it.
But then while that state of mind almost had me,
I saw this light it was so bright and beautiful.
I never saw something so beautiful.
It made me so happy I even thought it was an angel from the heavens.
But then the state of mind came back.
Everything went black and now I’m here.
Crying weeping wanting it all to leave and have that state of mind back.
But there was something you said before I said those awful things to you.
You said you've been there before and I didn’t want to hear that again but I
care so I listened.
So now I’m here at a cross road.
That state of mind.
or
God.
