Plagued Ailment

On the edge with a few pegs down the gut
Hideous images to see in mirrors
Must you shock others to this reality?
There is no scrimmage between our talents. 

I was looking for my whiskers to twitch
Powder the facial turf to gloss the lips
Darkness swamped my mind with timidity
For I murmured my thoughts to hear you roar.

Lord help me for today I saw a Lion
What if I see a Dinosaur tomorrow?
