Lookup up to the sky A single raindrop invades your eye You blink away the swell As you let in the devil She begins to eat your flesh You bones withstand the test “Must be a dream” Your lips open to scream Another drop, another devil Scream and run and flail Your skin becomes thirsty, pale Pray to your god, ask for help Surely he’s there He’s the only one to save you Grab onto the rod Drop to your knees Pay all the necessary fees You’ll certainly be fine Tonight the devils dine

Look Up
he is always here, invading my unquiet mind, what if, why didn't i, what might happen...so unkind. holding my attention on an unsettled life, phantom worries, negative thinking, and unnecessary strife. i constantly ask him to leave, but he has no way out, you see i created him and feed him, all to fuel my doubt. without him i'm lost, agitated, a life in disarray, he is always what i've known, a guide to show the way. he puts on a special lens, affecting all i see, distorting reality, an agitated reality, known only to me. i have a secret though, someday he will depart, he'll fade away, with the last beat of my restless heart.
