A coughing fit attacks, I lose my eyeballs
They pop right out and roll around the floor
Collecting dust bunnies, andĀ hitting the walls
Gone they are, lost forevermore

Blind I sit, now trying to adjust here
Longing for the sense I used to know
Another coughing fit hits, I lose my ears
Scurrying from me, away they go

Deafened, blind and sick I sit so sadly
Trying not to cough another round
I miss the ugliness in life so badly
And truly I do miss the worst of sounds

i am a tumbleweed
i gather dustbunny thoughts and entertain them with a tea party in my living room

i am a scarecrow that doesn't want to be looked at
but the ravens all come
they stare and oggle anyway
making me blush

i am a girl with a huge heart who doesn't want to be loved
because things that are cherished and wanted hurt people more when they break

i prefer being a sock without a match
