Who cares?
I walk down walls
The ground facing me vertically
But I walk with no fear of falling
And when the ground opens up
And those sunken eyes stare from below
I walk a little faster, heart beats a little harder
And the wind whistles and howls
But we’re no longer friends, I’m with the clouds now
And all is well as I descend into hell

Jaw unhinges like a snake
I grin grimly, I know it’s all fake
People that vanish and heads on the shelf
What I’m not sure of is whether I loathe myself
Or am happy with who and what I am
If what I am is what I think, if what I think is what I know
Wouldn’t it to be easier to go
Back to where I came from? To hide?
Instead I swell with false pride
At abilities I do not possess and imagined accomplishments
As life passes me by and I’m dragged by the current
My brain unable to keep up with what’s current
Instead mired in past or in future events
Pounded by nonsensical torrents
Of things I can’t understand but could control if I tried
Or could I? Perhaps I have lied
To myself all along…
Who can really say what is right and what’s wrong…

Sitting on a secret, twiddling my thumbs
As the voice of the earth hums and thrums
Quite loudly, what a racket
What a raucous bunch of noise
Go ahead and plug your ears little girls and little boys
And I will sit on my secret and twiddle my thumbs
Until the time comes…
And when it comes…
Will it come?
