normality.

normality?
what is that?
asks my mismatched socks
and two left feet
i've never heard of such a thing
says the nonesense in my brain 
well i'm certain it's just rubish 
yes compleate scrub buckets
my lack of rationality chimes in 
it must be a rather unpleasnt thing
that makes you feel the need to look like everybody else
to walk and talk 
like they do themselves
to breathe air with the same stupid expresion 
to look like you hate the thing that your doing
to gain the attention 
of people who don't actually care about you 
who only want to know what new silly thing you will do 
it might be contagious! quik cover your mouth
close your eyes
you don't want normality 
to get inside.

  • The Boxes In The Corner

    Looming over your shoulders

    Each stack higher than its former

    Every thought and every scrap

    Of an idea too scared to ponder

     

    Every moment that hurt

    Each minute that lingered longer

  • Inadequacy


    How do I push the words out
    From behind my taffy tongue 
    Thick with salty tears 
    And full of grubby thumb 


    I’m a child 
    Pretending that I’m numb 
    To escape the overwhelming feelings 

  • Paper Frogs

    Why

    When feet fall soft but quick 

    Does the hallway extend

    And the hot breath of whoever’s behind me feel hotter 

    Why do I stay pressed to the wall 

    Like a stubborn gruby sticker
