Useless Worry

6/6/12

There's a horrid feeling inside
That threatens to overload
I try to close my feelings tight
But I end up expanding like a toad

You see my ugly flaws
And I can't avert your eyes
The protruding of the talons and claws
Preduces me to lies

Yet you very well see
When I suck it all in
That these flaws are me
Though tucked deep within

The monster escapes in panic
And the world is all anew
Everything that was once static
Is all in 3D, Blueray...for you

I clutch onto the outside
Trying to discolour all the while
But then you simply override
My worries with a smile
