I Come..and Then I Go

It's been happening now for years

I come and then I go

The less I am aware on this level

the more I have to guess and suppose

My memory is vast or non existent

As quickly as it comes.. it goes

Just can't seem to recall

How to put on my god damn pantyhose

Took me half an hour the other day

(my skills, they come and then they go)

to open the jar of olives I was cravin

Turning the top the wrong way, wouldn't ya know

Do not discount me, I am still viable

I come and then I go

My thoughts remain impressive and deep

Even though most of the day I appear comatose

I choose to be here, alone in my LaLa land

I can come and I can go

No one judges me in the land of LaLa

Who ever I am at any moment is always apropos

I may not have it all together all the time

I am cool with coming and going

Did you ever think it's a vacation of the mind

Retreating to a place so deep like a river of peace flowing

We may never truly understand why a mind might 

choose to go and then to come

A disease, we believe, or is it a mechanism of  flight

A respite from this fucked up place we come from

Perhaps.. when we reach a place where we have paid our dues

We are allowed to come and go, subtle yet profound

Rewarded with a place of sanity in an insane world

LaLa land ...a place of peaceful human lost and found

Be not so quick to medicate me so I remain up top with you

I want to come, I want to go..I am fine, do not weep

I am in my place of sanity, you'd come too...if you could

Watch me, love me...know..I am safe and sane in LaLa land deep
