Liquid Sanity
I'm trying desperately to hold my brain inside my head
To stop it from running out and pudding under my desk
Maybe it's the water that makes it all better
In closing me in its cool embrace
Perhaps it's the pain,
The aching of muscles as I push through liquid,
That makes me forget
Gives me something else to think about,
other than puddle I left behind
Perhaps it's the victory that shines through when I do something impossible
Something I could not fathom yesterday
Maybe it's the people,
We all laugh and groan together,
Hateing and loving at the same time
Maybe that's why we're there
Maybe that's why we don't care if we look odd,
in silicon heads and alien eyes,
in barely any clothes
Maybe that's why,
When I leave the waters embrace,
I smile
Perhaps, just maybe, it's all things that keep my brains in my head
at least till tommorow
