Preach your colourful knowledge of me, From a jaw that could hold nothing more than a faint whisper of insincerity And a flailing bird tangled on your tongue. But when the rainbow bursts; Don't attempt to rain materialism down on me Stuff your grocery store heart shaped chocolates up your nose. And stop dreaming up all the sadness I stand for. I am not your fixer-upper-er. I am whole, trust me, The serpent rejoins once cut And heals. I am a serpent, rainbow and colourless. Materialistic seduction... Give me a minute while I puke fluro ***** on your shoe, You are the needy one and I remain whole... Scuffed and cracked I am healing, alone. But I am whole. Mixing strings of blues, greens and pinks Into one strand, There are scars.
