this is me.
warm
uncalculated.
this is me.
tender, hold it in 'til you fall asleep; this is me.
bursting from the inside; trapped...
clawing at lights, falling down holes.
this is me
touching your eyelids while you sleep
kissing your side, back. smelling your dreams.
telling you secrets; hoping you catch them...
this is me mending.
in a glass box, on a shelf.
this is me
weak.
warn.
ready.
no.
this is my mix..
time is key
timing is off.
this is me borrowed original.
my fingers are wings. stroking your skies to invade what is ours. make it that way.
this is shock.
this is breathe.
this is light.
this is numb.
you may now...enter...too late...wait.
it will come again.
this is mold.
this is clay.
this is melt.
this is open.
closed.
this is closed.
I walk on walls for practice; wait at green lights for fun
cold and brutal.
no.
this is fresh....
this is fear
this is excitement.
this is empty.
this is clean.
being raw poking in needles and knives and things.
scrapping it out.
this is clear.
I am right I am wrong.
this is stick.
stuck on ?
what is wrong?
this is truth.
need to fit it in need to fit; snug fit; too tight to breath.
this is voice.
this is silence.
show them rockstar politicial art propoganda. where our minds can only complain where the rest of ourselves cannot move.
this is war.
this is not what it should be.
this is me.
