Because I'm caught inside a


Because I'm caught inside a looking glass And I can't tell whether to cry or laugh I have a stone to keep me happy But that's not the jitterbug I'm the sappy sap at nighty night And even still it just feels right And when I'm turning out the light I'm worried that the ghouls will bite And sip it up to sip it up It's all gone The rich are left with their gold And I'm still left unsold A polaroid's a photograph And there's a stretch mark on the face It came around from way out back The monotone is out of place So dip around the hiding corner I feel like they're cross the border And cross the cross like Jesus Christ To hug himself to sleep at night The holy books Nailed him upright But upside down Was he in real life Mesmerizing Fantasizing Blank horizon Where there's come in I was watchin the pitch black glow of my pretty ceiling There's somethin up there Maybe a city of stars Thanks, Perry Ellis.... And even still there's never knowing There's crossing crosses but how far And holed around the hidey corner There's playing hide and seek There's nailing to the crossy cross There's making of the bleaky bleak Lippy lip or cheeky cheek I'm blind it's all the same

I am a poet, musician, and strong proponent of LGBTQ rights, gender equality, and being your true self no matter what ANYONE says. Do what you please, comment anything that comes to your mind, make you happy first. Then your dog/cat. That's pretty much it. Hail Santa. THE END.
