Grogginess of an awakening, the beginning is the end Squinting eyes see no more than a shadowed bedroom Intuition knows more than the obvious Fear envelopes, sealed itself with a bitter lick of realization Happiness is not apparent From the blanket of obisidian, Appears a beastly creature of a small man Spinached skin, angulared snout, bladed ears, and glazed eyes With a belly bloated with greed unhidden behind ripped sweated cloth This one brings forth gold New car? pOrsche, leXus, eScalade? CHECK all three New house? 6 baths, theatre, grand paino? CHECK all three Toy dog? Chihuahua, Terrier, Maltese CHECK CHECK CHECK Unlimited everything. Whatever you want, everything you need. Paralysis sets as your hands reach, GRAB GRAB GRAB! Nothing is as appears, everything is not that important Glinted shine, solid suns, Fascinate the eyes It's not worth it beeP, beEP, bEEP Clenched eyes with normalcy; love is needed, bravery is needed, compassion is needed BEEP, BEEP, BEEP Reality settles Dawn is the real gold BEEP, BEEP, BEEP Another day, just another ugly leprechaun BEEP, BEEP, BEEP click, not for long though Eyes close only to be teased in another 5, maybe another click Spend your life teasing yourself, and you will never be satisfied |
