Little Hiding Menace
I am unworthy to be seen
by such alive and vibrant eye
Alone I hide, confined by brutal shyness
Self esteem like that of any dull and drooling highness
or fool neath family tree comprised of the forests finest
Self destructive coward, scared
of those to whom I heir,
scared of thrones, scared of air,
scared to roam, afraid of looming lairs
and washing hair and those who stare
and steep ramps and any stairs
I'm scared to care
or be prepared, scared to live
I'm scared to be scared
I would be brave had I the gift,
the willpower to live,
the will of ill flowers that live
through acid showers
and pill powder poured through sieves,
by kids like Syd in toy story,
kids who flipped their lids,
cause parents never popped him
open to peek at the poison cookies hoarded
so
soon the pressure
it gives
atop gardens and victims,
lost
lives abridged,
and
I've no time for it,
no will to resist,
so I hide and
I sit,
I've just quit, I am lit,
little shit, throwing fits,
I hardly exist,
not a friend, not a family
member I chit
or I chat with, I plead the fifth,
to the neighbor,
the postman, just quietly ripped
and torn up about it
by such alive and vibrant eye
Alone I hide, confined by brutal shyness
Self esteem like that of any dull and drooling highness
or fool neath family tree comprised of the forests finest
Self destructive coward, scared
of those to whom I heir,
scared of thrones, scared of air,
scared to roam, afraid of looming lairs
and washing hair and those who stare
and steep ramps and any stairs
I'm scared to care
or be prepared, scared to live
I'm scared to be scared
I would be brave had I the gift,
the willpower to live,
the will of ill flowers that live
through acid showers
and pill powder poured through sieves,
by kids like Syd in toy story,
kids who flipped their lids,
cause parents never popped him
open to peek at the poison cookies hoarded
so
soon the pressure
it gives
atop gardens and victims,
lost
lives abridged,
and
I've no time for it,
no will to resist,
so I hide and
I sit,
I've just quit, I am lit,
little shit, throwing fits,
I hardly exist,
not a friend, not a family
member I chit
or I chat with, I plead the fifth,
to the neighbor,
the postman, just quietly ripped
and torn up about it
