Cesar's Palace (Mom's House)
Ask for pity
 putting herself 
 on a pedestal
 only to drop
 like a hit 
 of acid 
 on to the 
 tongue of society
 bringing corruption
 and Hell-fire
 to the once
 great state 
 of manic depression.
 
 Crash my eyes 
 to burn my sight.
 Crush my ears
 to break what I hear
 kill my sensor-motor skills
 watch me drop 
 watch me flop
 left to right
 back and forth. 
 
 Guilt trips
 taking me back.
 Holding me responsible
 for not being reliable,
 resourceful,
 or recognized.
 
 I’m done believing 
 in whatever she said.
 she talks with a limp
 she thinks she’s the s***.
 
 Just leave me 
 bottled up,
 nowhere to go
 but up
 like a volcano;
 clastic flow
 drastic so
 I must burst the bubble.
