Ignorance

You know I'm not alright
This is where I draw the line
I tried to run, I tried to hide
But I'm still badly broken...

~*~

Don't look at me

I'm a ghastly sight

Shattered snowglobe

I want to take plight

With drivelling minds

And chest twinges

With pens and skins

And faux pas fringes

Sewing cute smiles

Onto my crying wrists

But all fancies aside

Ignorance is bliss

Scissors my friends

My only company

Against this planet

Quite rudimentary

Within tidal waves

Of suffocating crowds

I'm already capsizing

But I think I'll drown

Ushering creatures

Under shag carpets

Tearing wallpapers

A tornado playset

Chasing, counting

Fireflies and zeroes

Waiting, wrecking

Little hearts and heroes

You call me epithets

Where's the lie? Where?

Two cups of chemicals

How? How'd I live there?

I'm a blubbering mess

My insides all churned

I'd love to convalesce

But also to never return

I feel like a spectral beast

Abhorred, spited, feared

I reckon monsters like me

Should simply disappear.

~*~

You know you swept me off my feet
And now I'm stuck beneath
The bridge you burned on top of me
And I'm so badly broken...
