My Metamorphosis
hiding for the sake of other's comfort
is the worst mistake
and the one
i always make
it is as if i was gregor samsa
hiding myself in my room
not to abhor those who cannot
deal with
the metamorphosis in me
360 bug eyes are fantastic
but sometimes a blind view
is the best view out there to see
those who look biased
will see exactly what they wanna see
but even though perception might be reality
reality is way beyond
opaque minds and eyes
can ever reach
don't blame me when i fly
with my monstrous wings growing
grotesquely through the incisions
life - I will call - has imposed upon me
you wonder if I am crazy
crazy is what you want to see
but truthfully
I have never met anyone
who I could certainly say
is not crazier than me
you see, in my world
what reigns is the mirror image
of what you call lunacy
but damn
in here we fly, with 360 view eyes
and a loud voice who laughs
and sings
stay in your normalcy
stationary mind
punching your smokey demons
with fists that are ever
out of reach
think I will wait for that apple in my back
like samsa did?
no
I will fly through the glass
with my bipolar dichotomy
peculiar
too idiosyncratic
for your monotonic
mind to perceive
