Horrified By Backstreet of My Mind
coughed up with cigarette dust
spit out of a roaring mouth
truths that pierce me
regurgitated in slimy green vomit
backstreet of my mind
pretending relief
forefront horrified by his pretense
trying to sugarcoat regurgitated slime with pink cotton candy thoughts
Feeling lighter, more genuine,
A smidget of almost but not quite happy
Mucus membrane surrounding backstreet shudders
Singing ‘I Want it That Way’ once again.
