Is This Real?


Catching cradles and sewing bows I want to see a cat and crow Chasing each other over moons In my dreams Instead of doom Cracking eggs First make em' boil I want to feel Sharp tin coil Could it flood my hand, full of bones? it will make me feel like I am real Love me lots Be mine forever I want to feel Like I am clever In a book that I wrote I do not feel like I am real I am human It is hell I want to scream, I want to yell But no one--not one seems to know I hurt myself 2 days ago
