Help
My mind is not my own, this coldness has crept into my soul
the spiders in my head have set up shop, selling secrets to the highest bidder.
Crowds of voices like the many waves in the sea have declared in me a tyranny.
A set of idea's that have never been my own are renting out the empty spaces,
calling on the little facts that no one truly knows.
I have hidden in dark corners wearing my paper hat
tried to drown in shallow puddles
stared down the sun till my eye's started to bleed
listened to the crowds until my ears sang a pretty hum
but i can not escape the life that has been given to me
I walked the sun in my heart to burn the shadow from me,
as it danced and played i cursed it to lye on the ground.
When we awoke on that cold morning did you still bury me upright?
I can not tell but the taste of dirt grinds my teeth
the worms slither threw my skull singing songs of pushing daisy's.
i join them in the chorus we whistle till the end of time
we whistle as they eat my mind.

world class metaphors in this one. so intelligent and refined, yet shocking at the same time. great work.
