only friends who stayed
my mind is still OK

Swimming in a lake
The weeds strangle my body
Trying to break free
I’m only pulled down deeper
into the opaque water

Surf carving away rocks
Sun resting for the day
Alone on the beach
Time to leave
Folding towel
Walking away
No more negative thoughts

Back straight facing the blank wall
My blood pressure falls

Working heavy bag
Stress drifts away from me like
Helium balloon

The executive
Was always top of his game
Then he lost his mind
