Inner Critic

Within without inside out screaming
The pain is unbearable you beasty twit
If you would just lose a leg or an arm

Crippled down bunched up dreaming
Your back is like a rack of ribs on a spit
Shut off this awful belly juggling alarm

Turn up turn out cantankerous filled brain
Take a damn load off before you faint
