Loss of a Mind
How many ways can I lose my mind
Bit by bit, it falls away
Bit by bit, my thoughts won't stay
I may be sad but I'll still be kind
Out in the world where the others dwell
Connections make a spark
Lights are shining in the dark
Which are for me? I just can't tell
How many ways can I lose my mind
Day by day it shies away
Day by day it hides away
How long will they pretend to be blind?
Bit by bit, it falls away
Bit by bit, my thoughts won't stay
I may be sad but I'll still be kind
Out in the world where the others dwell
Connections make a spark
Lights are shining in the dark
Which are for me? I just can't tell
How many ways can I lose my mind
Day by day it shies away
Day by day it hides away
How long will they pretend to be blind?

I lose my mind at least once a day, but it keeps coming back.
Those are some very sweetly sculpted stanzas. Nice work!
