I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS

I DIDN'T KNOW I WAS

They said I didn't know I was dead
and that all I feel and think that is real
is a delusional illusion within my sleeping head
reaping deeper conclusions, forever, never said

Apparently, I died inside, a while back
from a fatal fall with a broken back
or a heart attack induced during R.E.M.
while life, seduced, went on for them....

Suffering repercussions of forgotten concussions
legions of lesions laid out for discussions
churning ashes of thought taught to the members
who turned out to be burnt out within immortal embers

A fading ghost without a hating Hades host
waiting in shadows for a belated toast
with inciting inviting mental instrumental stilettos
stomping silhouettes of saturated undead poet pets in the ghettos

Stomping and pounding upon the thread of bullshit said
fantastic phantoms resonating and rebounding a new hit on the head
....They said I was reborn and torn in a show with a fuzzy buzz.......
....I didn't know I was....
