Saw My Ears Off Please

Listen closely she said while the hallucinations came again My ears bleed in an audible silence that's to come The beating heart sits strong to prosper while I go down the drain Sounds of my elated innards while my chest goes numb Centipedes surround the walls with a tall man of vomit to the left A shroud of insecurity - the anxiety has arrived home The sounds repeating in my head, mother get me dressed Wet lips and ten-thousand legs sit above me on a throne Take precaution through a land of reprobation to take a walk outside Slumber sits beside, auditory indentations subside A poor man dies with a gash in his torso but he tried Wash my hands in a pool of oil and eat a sandwich with a friend Cold morning tea someone needs a refill Arguments with another part of society the cancer needs a lifetime to apprehend

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
