So grotesque without needing to be

So grotesque without needing to be Visual novel’s forgotten character Take out that page, show it to kids Helps them to sleep and not see me Backs of their minds, I’m still alive Ovens are only used for bread

Stay down there I’ll come meet you where you are If you can’t and you don’t want to We’ll both stay where we are

Politeness No I’m not mad No I’m not secretly screaming inside Shut up shut up shut up shut up shut up

Refresh Something new must emerge Something shiny that catches your attention Do you even know what to do with it on that verge Gold is all that matters in the end, lives and souls submerged

Where’s the imposter? Me? Why do you say that? You’re only trying to protect yourself I’m not a cat, woman or even a bat

Alteration station Intellectualization

Be nice, often hurts I want to strike instead

Forget, let’s watch a film All colors in the realm May it not overwhelm Or else hide under elm

Look at me Look at you Which one tried To be who?

Me? I’m just a mirror Only a fool would charge head first into me Only to destroy themselves

If you were there when I was merely tuning my guitar Imagine what’s on the other side

Fast processor, I have Wood chirper, in and out

Hit ‘em where it hurts Yeah right there You know what I mean

And then the wolf stopped in her tracks Held her leg and shouted at the moon I found your trap, or it found me So then the hunter, believing he had hit his target Backed away grinning And the wolf then trotted home whistling

Being the popular one in the asylum It’s not a good look is it?

There you go, mingle Who’s that? A new friend He released a new single Using his own eardrums

Sylvia Plath? We have that back home

Theories Who’s conspiring? Take me down I’m not falling

Pay it back Every second you have stolen Soul attack Every soldier, once is fallen

Recalling that yellow park Me walking in the dark With nowhere else to go And enemies who snark

Pyramid infiltrated Free rodent sniff Places of worship Highway road cliff

Free associating at a black screen Oh that’s me I’m looking at, wild Let me turn it on so I don’t have to see that

I have a better boat Takes me away at times You read back what I wrote Free meanings and it rhymes

I trust you I recognize you You were here before You know the path so well

They let me wait too long I don’t even complain Is it a test or joke? Blow up the plane

Try less Fry more No success Fly out the door

Stay silent That worked out Yell and scream More tryouts

They all left And you’re still here Teachers too Have rides to get

Delay The plane just stopped Midair The wing just flopped

Success story Put in on the news More victims to recruit Parents singing the blues

Bomb dismantled Deers are mantled

Word is me But me is not only word

Interrupt my silence Only if it’s sweet

Safely landed with a clap The tutorial was on snap

Orange wing, where did you go? Was retracted, now you show

Untrained muscles Long forgotten I remember Nights of cotton

Know pro deck tar Kneaded

Run Nonstop Just like your mind Away from me

Prison library No solitude Legendary Intrude

Take this And put into paper? Or on a screen? Using keyboards? Tell me exactly, name the process Step one Two Three I’m already doing it? This is so easy Who’s typing these words?

Keychain pen Hold on, that’s genius Keychain pad! No, I’m taking it too far right?

Capricornosaurus rex

Never left my side Do not be fooled I’m not a snowy bride Nor a ship that moored *
