Jekyll-And-Hyde Abide
JEKYLL-AND- HYDE ABIDE
smiling my charmed smile targeting the façade of
obligatory expectations to those who would care
to see the hidden agenda of a perfect mime muse
speaking my learned lingo directly into hearts of
stone softening slur and lies they strive to deny
with brittle anguished shriek the disguise I try
Hyde splinters and reverses its swift purpose
my breath runs off its track in a missed heart
beat now stuck and struck as arms and legs
lay lame by constant screaming in this head
my anger absorbs taut terrors inward torments
while the next bender of Benzo’s fights the X…x
factor in placid restitution and perfectly refutes
tornados of emotion that demolish control with
appease as stage is set for another Jekyll arrival
