Can you look me in the eyes?

Strain a glance at my brain,

Jump rope with my lies

Would you still say I’m sane?

 


Can you hear my silent screaming?

Tread through my head,

Insult me for violent dreaming

Are you sure I’m not dead?  

 


Can you dismantle tangled thoughts?

Grind together my mind,

Further tighten the knots

Where do I draw the line?

 


wise I wear my Disguise

scheming but I appear Gleaming

afterthoughts become my Spots

 


Where is my Mask?

When you see

Am I up for the task

How can I be?

the only one that’s looking is me
