My Head

Throughout the day

Can't keep throbbing at bay

 

Ebbs and flows like water

Water without the laughter

 

My Brain is braking out

I let slip, a final shout

 

As it grows more intense

The throbbing won't let me rest

 

It has broken down the door

Splinters now carpet the floor

 

The floor which was once pristine

Will now never again be clean

 

My head was charged by huns

everything destroyed, running with blood

 

Throbbing breaks down the walls

With metal chains and *****

 

And now, it is open to all

A new kind of shopping mall

 

See this, it's all that's left

Of a mind once neatly kept

 

Take what you want and leave

This is no place to grieve

 

As if you cared anyway

Really, I'm better off this way

 

I'll never try again

Not a single thought through my head

 

Now prop me up on a wooden chair

And simply forget I was ever there
