Karma

I’m imagining in my head
To myself what will be said
As I try to cut any ties I have to you

I’ll take every memory
Every feeling deep down inside of me
And tear them to shreds despite what may ensue

Don’t want to recall anything
Starve the heart so it can’t sing
And empty the mind as a source of song

From reality gimme a hard break
From every good deed and mistake
Even though the good outweigh the wrong

I wanna live the other lives
That I immediately denied
By walking my path that led to now

Forget meeting you and everyone
Make my presence unknown undone
Rewind to the start then replay somehow–

Maybe fly into space
Win another motorcycle race
Or raise a family of my own

Maybe I’m the boss of you
Visiting all friends I ever knew
Or harvesting crops that I had sown

The totality of possibilities
A siren song that forever calls to me
What I have lived inspires no more

So I’m leaving you all behind
For everything else I didn’t find
But I’m not worried–
I’ve done this before
