my head is swimming as the world seems to be filled with need

my teeth are shards of glass jammed into bleeding gums, my hands replaced with talons, my heart a wicker basket filled with coals

what more can you take, what more can i give, just ask and it is yours

just another case of right crime wrong victim, fictional alibis and factual inaccuracies, the jelly fish spine of invertebrate insecurities given form

i am just another mess for you to clean up, a corpse in the rosebush out back

an action figure with a melted torso, unable to live up to beauty expectations, insincerity the only flattery allowed in a world that only takes for granted
