Sometime

Somewhere I would make this decision

But not today

Never today

Always tomorrow

I have to worry about time catching up with me

But it will catch up with her first

Every time they have to leave

If they were going to leave then why would I take them along with me?

Why have happiness if it is not contentment

Why have it if it will end in suffering

And why do I have thoughts

Endless chattering in my head

Interrupting each other

Thinking what I have to think I have to think I have to think

What is madness?

Does madness exist?

Is sanity a delusion created by the mad?

Is everyone mad but the mad are sane?

Am I mad?

Is madness Beautiful?

Am I beautiful?

What is beauty?

So many identities

But they rarely capture this madness in my head

Am I a prisoner?

Did running away help?

I was running away from my troubles but did my troubles run with me?

Is my freedom my prison?

Loneliness

Everything ends

Everything began

If everything ended how did I see it? How did I watch the end if I still existed?

Is the universe my imagination?

Then I must have a tortured imagination

Why so surprised?

Of course I do

To see all of that and stay sane

Impossible

And then no-one understands

The burden of my conscience is impossible for anyone to understand

I ran away but my problems ran with me

Because my problems are myself

'Doctor! Are you alright?'

I was snapped out of my thoughts

'Yes, of course, why wouldn't I be?' I replied, trying to sound cheerful

'Where do you want to go?' I asked her

I pulled some leavers and pressed some buttons and I hoped that the conflict of our next adventure would take me away from the conflict inside of me.

I hope it will.
