Mr.J


Mr.J

He's in a corner

Back against the wall

Doing all he can

To not slip up and fall

The floor is slippery

Full of wax and slime

Been there for a while

For a long ass time

He is barely standing

Leaning on that wall for support

The wall pushes him up

But to no avail, not any sort

Of progress being made with Mr.J

It never was his fault anyway

The floor is slippery full of grime

Pushing itself on him all the time

Never letting up, always dragging him down

Looking down at his feet with nothing but a frown

The floor got him

And he had no way out

It kept eating it's way up his legs

Mr.J is now becoming part of the floor

He is stuck like concrete on the sidewalk

Or a hinge on a closed door

Now he's gonna try talk

But it keeps on going

It gets passed his waist

Up on his chest

Never gonna stop

Never gonna rest

Until it's taken all of Mr.J

Until he is gone, it's the floors payday

Goin and goin and goin more

Closer to the goal, do come the floor

Until it finally go to his neck

His final breath was being taken not quick

Until the wall stepped in

Lifted Mr.J up

Nevers gonna leave him

Never given up

Always there by his side

Always on the inside

Coming from the outside

Picking him up same time

He comes out of the floor

And the floor sinks again

Grabbing anything it can but it loses grip and can't

The floor then falls

And goes back to which it came

Dried up

The floor was no more

He stood up and looked at the wall

Still standing there and standing tall

Mr.J has never left that wall

Neither has the wall from Mr.J
