You are as good as anything dead,

when there’s nothing much to excite.

You as good as a mossy bread,

when you think but cannot write.

You are as good as a vegetable,

when all you do is lie as you are.

You are as good as a mind unstable,

when you cross the line and go too far.

Times can be too mundane and ordinary,

when you begin to wonder and feel sorry.

When moments make no difference,

lay being yourself with no pretense.

And that’s the time your mind provokes,

wakes you up- strangles and tries to choke.

Its time you get back from your lowest ebb,

to do something and re spin your own web.

You are as good as a carcass,

when life ceases to be a circus.

You are as good as simply nothing,

when you live for the sake of living.

Nice…but personally do not agree with these words …
“You are as good as a mind unstable,
when you cross the line and go too far.”

Who defines what is stable and unstable- society ? friends? what we have read? Sometimes you have to cross the line and go too far- paths that have not been tread- explore the unexplored- be a rebel and live life and you may discover fragrance of a thousand flowers
