The words collect Slithering over my face Making a mask to fall behind, to hide Creating a wall of lies and secrets as my disguise. Red. Black. Silver. Streamlines down my body Embracing me into an unknown. I'm throbbing faster. And quicker. Words slip out of my mouth like ghosts. Hands move and twist Contort the darkness to come. Holler. Yell, stamp. Scream. Vision mists and motions rise. Ghosts of the past! Ghosts of the future! Cover me with the truth. I am not your friend. Eat my words and rise. I am your king. I am the native ghost!
