Cento poem
You think twice about your life
It probably happens at night, right?
Fight it
Take the pain, ignite it
Tie a noose around your mind
Loose enough to breathe fine
And tie it to a tree
Tell it
“you belong to me”
“This ain’t a noose this is a leash”
“And I have news for you; you must obey me”
Quickly moving towards the storm, moving forward, torn
Into pieces over reasons of what these storms are for
I don't understand why everything I adore
Takes a different form when I squint my eyes
Have you ever done that? When you squint your eyes
And your eyelashes make it look a little not right
And then when just enough light comes from just the right side
And you find you're not who you're supposed to be?
This is not what you're supposed to see
Please, remember me?
I am supposed to be
King of a kingdom, or swinging on a swing
Something happened to my imagination
The situation's becoming dire
My tree house is on fire
And for some reason I smell gas on my hands
This is not what I had planned
This is not what I had planned
I’m dying and I’m trying
But believe me I’m fine
But I’m lying
I’m so very far from fine
While you’re doing fine
There’s some people and I
Who have a really tough time getting through this life
So excuse us while we sing to the sky
The solution is
I see a whole room of these mutant kids
Fused at the wrist
I simply tell them they should shoot at this
Simply suggest my chest and this confused music
It’s obviously best for them to turn their guns to a fist
We’re driving toward the morning sun
Where all your blood is washed away and
All you did will be undone
