Im really losin' it

I swear Im not on acid...

There was no turning back after that. Once I mouthed that word, I gave it life. It became an embryo that grew and grew inside me, waiting for parturition. Its gestation was the swiftest ever. Once it took in its first breath of air, it began living a life of its own. Independent. Eventually it overpowered me, its parent, and I gave in. Foolishly perhaps, but willingly. What lay ahead wasnt important then. It could take me to the loftiest nirvana, or plunge me headlong into the rocky crags below. I didnt care. It owned me. And it owns me now.
