The secrets I hide
cling to my insides
clawing their way out
to the bottomless pit
The lies the lies
they sink sink sink
spilling onto the canvass
just outside the door
Running does no good in a dream
the darkness always nipping
at your seams
Fluttering eyes R.E.M
r...e..m
You know that your sleeping
dreaming convulsing
Splattering onto the tiara
I wore as a child
The disappointment that hangs
in the air is all but mild
Swirls of orange around
bubbles of glass
Two yellow lines
DO NOT PASS
Not good enough, not good enough
Not good enough for who??
I’m good enough, I’m good enough
Just never for you.
