My family has a curse
It’s the Dollhouse Dilema
The problem is you see,
That people think we’re perfect.

We’re plastic to the outside world
And perfectionist at our core.
We’re always in control, that is,
Until something goes wrong.

Do you see the problem here?
The problem is with logic.
Plastic melts with heat and pressure,
But we just smile harder.

I don’t know why we’re like that
And I’m not sure we’ll recover but
Beware the perfect people, for
They have the biggest problems.

Little ghost said thank you,
Heard it in my head.

Thanks for all your poems,
It’s said from my bed.  

I say, It’s no problem,
They keep me alive.

He said, Hey that’s funny because
I’m the one who died.

My arms don’t reach, I am unchained.
That’s when you feel loose enough to cry
“Are you okay?”
And you want to say “No”
but instead you say “yes” and you lie.

Look in the mirror
it’s you
Your reflection is
psyche food

Everyday, it’s everyday
The Babadook is every day
He’s in my room, he’s on the couch
He’s ******* fingers with his mouth
It’s in the car, beneath the covers
In toothbrushes and thoughts of lovers
I need to burn that haunting book,
I need to fight the Babadook
If I keep fighting everyday,
I’ll be okay, I’ll be okay.

There are things inside my head that overwhelm me
I’m not sure if I’m overreacting
I don’t know if it’s just me who feels this way,
But I am too overwhelmed to get it out of my head
But I’m screaming internally because it’s all too much
I know I need to do something but I’m too paralyzed to do anything.
