An organic cell
An inescapable cage
A personal hell
A shell of rampant rage

Under a digital spell
Center stage
A deadly swell
Safety not easy to gauge

How quickly the bar fell
A sageless age
Shhhh, don't tell
It's the same on every page

I'm just a junkyard dog.
Old scars tell my story.
I'm left water and scraps.
Alone in the dark I sleep
and dream of a better life
and love with *******
I smell beyond fences.
Love just out of reach.

What I wouldn't give to be normal
Well,
Let's be real,
I know nothing about normal
Is there an actual definition that could be written in a way to make it simple?
I've tried to define it but I don't think it's possible
Forcing this to be rhetorical
But here we go,
What is normal?
All I've been able to conclude is it's normal to question what's normal
Other than that though,
It may be undefinable

Why do they come up
Why bring me back to the horror
Why make me remember
Why must these memories haunt me
only to leave me once more???

Listen to this message
With an open mind
Because I never preach
Nor do I ever been a politician

Listen to this message
With an open mind
If your eyes are covered
Ever so gently
With the lace of deception

If we forget history
Avoid it
If we fail to teach it
Refuse to learn from it
Our present is doomed
If we misconstrue history
Our future is ruined

Wrong is wrong
The truth does not change
And a friend who will not
show you your own sicknesses,
When you’re being duped
Is your enemy.
