no dear, not today
My life such as it is
A waking nightmare
Day to day,
Hour to hour
Moment to moment
They will never see what I see
They will never hear what I hear
But what is normal?
I wish I knew
I wish I could create this world I’m in
But it was chosen for me
I wish the seizing would cease
I wish there were nothing more to say
I can only do what I can do
I can only live today
But there are so many seconds
In every living day
When they whisper in my ear
Bury her, bury her in this way
Take her into the desert and leave her with us
We will show her who she truly is
The ugly, inner child
Undeserving, unloved, unwanted
The burden that she is
I see the spiders creep away into the cracks of my own mind
They lie in wait for me to die
So they can eat my eye
Not the orbs I see from
But the inner, seeing eye
The truth, the truth, the truth
Even I don’t see it anymore
Is it God?
What is God?
Am I God?
No, dear, not today.
