#centipede
On a garden tree of hardened leaves slithers a centipede anemone claiming to be a friend of me sprouting wings splendidly flying to the Nth degree ahead of me until I can no longer see where the wronger flee behind a Chris Pronger screen giving me the stronger steam to bomb the seed.

Garden Tree Centipede
A million centipedes are crawling under my skin. I've killed all the plants in my mind's garden. Waterlogged with saline as I try to dehydrate my face. But I'm not prepared when they come out to play. They climb up the hypertrophic ladders on my skin. Clawing at me while I rip off all their anthropomorphic legs. They seep poison into my bloodstream that contaminates my brain. It leaves me helpless.

Centipedes
Crushed in a slow time racing pattern continuously moving backwards We can only live while we lose Emotionally losing our minds as we portray many personas like actors In a lake bed who will forever chase the goose What sound does the centipede make while it crawls in your ear Try your best to stay alive With all these failing circuits Then realize it doesn't matter the situation You still won't be liked Like you use to be Beauty is skin deep And bones are lovely So sit and let it burrow deep My centipede Even enthusiasm can heal But not regenerate wounds by far They just turn into scars How deep the centipede seeps  It won't make you weep
