Imagine this: I'm holding my breath There's a fish on the roof And you've just thrown it off There's a bird in a pond And you're holding it down Fish don't fly, honey And birds don't swim Magic isn't real Because if magic was real I would have wished myself away If magic was real I wouldn't be sitting here With a pen in one hand and a blade in the other Congratulating myself For picking the one that left less scars There aren't swirly white lights At the edge of this cliff And I'm hurtling ahead At breakneck speed And neck, please break Because I don't want to survive this one So maybe fish can fly -  for a moment And maybe birds can swim - for a second Before you ***** the life out of them.

Because magic isn't real...
Imagine this: I'm holding my breath There's a fish on the roof And you've just thrown it off There's a bird in a pond And you're holding it down Fish don't fly, honey And birds don't swim Magic isn't real Because if magic was real I would have wished myself away If magic was real I wouldn't be sitting here With a pen in one hand and a blade in the other Congratulating myself For picking the one that left less scars There aren't swirly white lights At the edge of this cliff And I'm hurtling ahead At breakneck speed And neck, please break Because I don't want to survive this one So maybe fish can fly -  for a moment And maybe birds can swim - for a second Before you ***** the life out of them.
My attempt at slam poetry. Not quite what I was going for but it works.
