Frankenstein IRL tbh
Frankenstien's monster
Alone at night
Observers wonder
"Do I flight or fight?"
But he comes not fast
Nor agile, nor strong
He meanders the alleys
Until from sight he is gone
What's that in his hand
A captivating mirror
That has infinite information
But makes life less clearer
He spends all day
Staring at his device
His mind becomes numb
His heart much like ice
And when someone strikes a match
or invite him to a fire pit
He reverts to his phone
His interest is quit
For he fears the genuine, the natural, the real
Most of all he fears what he can feel
What doesn't make sense, but touches his heart
Powerful and innocent, like match's first spark
So he clombers down the alley way
Afraid and cautious that someone will say
"Hey Frankie, is everything swell?"
or "Follow your passion frank, you know it so well"
He seeks deniability
Of an unseen passion
He fears responsibility
of passion's longing for action
So distract yourself poor Frankie
Forget the future, present, and past
Don't look up, poor Frankie,
Live your life through that empty screen of glass.
