Don't let me too close to you or I'll be inside your head and know you for who you are.

Splash

Make me beautiful,

Then destort and destroy

Me, Make me hideous.

Make me molded and frade

And I'll polish you off

With grungy fingers,

I will make you shine.

Because it's been ages

Since I wanted to crack,

Open my ribs and spill

Nonsense onto a page of lines.

We'll blame the world,

I'll blame my parents,

And you'll blame yourself.

Make me beautiful,

But I'd be lying if I said

That's what I was.

Make me fly, 

With your canon and matches

Spin your halo on wide knuckles

And tell me again,

What it is to be imperfect.

Make me beautiful,

But take it away,

With one flick from your grungy fingers.

Horizontal Lining

i am the fox

with a goat complexion

and the heart of a beast

a monster grows

from behind my brain

insanity is creeping closer

a spiral downward

and she keeps it up

i keep it up real well

appearances

and taptaptap

go her fingers

go my fingers

on a keyboard

i am the fox

with the dripping fur

and the lungs of a mouse

a growl grows

from inside my throat

where the bile rises

and nothing comes out

she is sick

so very sick indeed

but she keeps up appearances well

tells people she is crazy

i am crazy

so they dont worry

so they think she is sane

as her fingers taptaptap

away at a keyboard of keys of the alphabet

she smells honey

and tastes cravings on her tongue

i am the fox

with a lions hat

and the fingers of a skeleton

a taptaptapping moves

from in the outside

she is a spiraling outward

down and out

i am not crazy

she is crazy

i am not her

she is me

and we are not 

the same

she is a fox

and i am the goat

no.

i am the fox

and she is the hunter on a horse

and i am hiding

because i've lost my place

can't collect my rambling thoughts

i am lost. 

i am a lost fox

with a human's voice

and the legs of a drunk

a fight dies

away in her chest

she is insane. 

i tell everyone

she is insane.
