I'm in a mood,

In a dangerous mood,

I'm in the mood to climb,
to the top of buildings,
the higher the better,
climb
stand, unsupported, at the edge,
looking down,
feeling the muscles in my legs tense and relax 
keeping me upright as the wind pushes and pulls
acting on reflex,
mind numb.

I'm in the mood to drive,
to take corners as fast as I can,
to drive at the edge of physics,
and feel physics pull on me,
to be part of the car,
feel my body maneuver the car,
automatically,
with no conscious thought,
acting on reflex,
mind numb.

I'm in the mood to fight,
clench my fists and punch,
and get punched back,
it doesn't matter which happens most,
punch, dodge, deflect,
bruises,
pain,
acting on reflex,
mind numb.

I'm in the mood to jump,
run to ledges and throw myself into space,
hurling my body around,
while trying to remain in the air 
as much as possible,
landing on my feet without realising,
sometimes falling,
my hands going out to catch my fall,
acting on reflex,
mind numb.

I'm in the mood to tackle,
stop someone running 
and drag him to the ground,
mindlessly ignoring the pain 
I might experience,
acting on reflex,
mind numb.

Things to do.
I'm forces to think,
the problem,
one can not always control
what one thinks about,
problems resurface

I'm in a mood.

And that is why the lines on the street are yellow.

Now whenever I'm about to say I'm in a mood I'll think of this.
Considering I say it a lot, you're making me do a lot of unnecessary thinking :P
