Something's in me
Overwhelming
Overcome me
I can't stand
I am a child
No understanding
Weak and awkward

Substitute a
Substance
For a subject
Move my fingers
Closer to you
I am nervous
Weak and awkward

Lay there, long
And lonely,
You are lovely.
I wait and I am
Comfortable.
I wish I were less
Weak and awkward.

I want to look in the mirror
And see someone else,
Anyone else
I don't want to be me any more.

But I am me, I am me,
And I have to be me,
Until I die. And then I wont
Wake up again.

I won't be someone else.
I won't be me.
I'll be nothing,
Dirt, in the ground.

An echo of a whisper
I don't understand
I can't hear you
Please tell me what to do.

I a lost little sheep
Barely a newborn,
I need guidance, milk,
Please tell me what to do.

The walls are damp
And mossy. I tread softly,
Blind in the dark.
Please tell me what to do.

I am searching, a
Soft light in a dark hallway.
Stumbling forward, a compass.
Please,
Tell me what to do.

Drip
Drip
Drip
My hip
Your lip
This is

Scratch
Scratch
This patch
Won't last

Exhale
Your breath is stale

Tired mind,
Tired body,
Sleep.

Tired mind,
Body alive,
Wake up.

Tired body,
Mind intrigued,
Never sleep.

Body alive,
Mind intrigued,
Hello.

I am a tornado.
My feet turn gusts
of wind, destroy whole cities.
I soar unafraid into
the open air,  leaving
a trail of rubble behind me.
I am quick and desperate,
a flurry of sky and
thunder, of lightning.  I am
beautiful and destructive.
I am a whirlwind,
chaotic.
