I want to say "I'm sad" In thirty-three different languages— Whichever you prefer, So long as you'd get what my message is. They asked me to chase the "light" once again, And I hope they meant "lightnings" Because I've been wandering around outside In hopes of getting struck by one. In between my internal monologues Are bottomless pits awaiting my next mistake. And behind my play-pretends Are quicksands awaiting my heart to ache. I have been blaming my own reflection. I guess you can't wish for “a happily ever after" When you were born to be a monster. And I guess you need not to be kind When you are meant to be out of your mind. Even so, send in the clowns.
