Stitched words engraved in plastered tongue

Hold on

Shackled to the dimness of existence

Stitched words engraved in plastered tongue

Playing the king thinking of the penance

Thinking only the good get to die young


Looking down an electrical socket for a spark

Praying something will ignite

Diverged colors, heaven or hell which one to embark

Paralyzed, no warning lights


Eyes closed, view master slides

Faces with sharpied smiles

Long term memories, once pushed aside

Family and friends worthwhile

Open eyes, questioning this unhappiness

Seeing, feeling this capability

Spark of awareness


Too late, slipping away

Nails going deeper into the world

Hands transformed in wind pushing me to the surface

Fresh breath

Happiness can always be resurfaced


I waited

I watched from my stained tinted window

Waiting for you to show up

Pillows super glued to the walls

Red Cross blinks medical checkup

Straps tied down into my flesh

Sharp needles poking my brain

Blood stains splattered against walls

I guess you could call me insane

So I wait to be saved

But the person I’m waiting for is me

My soul forever enslaved

By the demon that’s inside of me


Catch me at the carnival

Round and Round the merry-go-round I go

Up and down my organs move

Side to side cotton-swab the tune

200 feet of air pushing out of my puppetness


Short smile sharpied stupidness

Toe touching the trees nearly

Sign out front saying faulty


Corn popped to perfection

Pounds of caramel dumped onto juicy crunchiness

Spider webs upon spider webs on a stick

Dough fried with sugar powdered sweetness


Wonders of freaks

Girl on the tight rope, boy swinging down

Women with a beard, tallest man around

Opened wide so I can see

Magic.. no wait.. reality


Everyone leaving, have time for one more

My face metamorphosis, can’t find the door

Lights go out, can’t feel anything

Footsteps getting closer

Hand on my shoulder


Taken from the ring leader

Help me

No choice, no family, so no voice

Heart skips every second, than every minute

Wait, this is my perfect escape, isn’t it?
