Where the World Put Me


My body shakes I am an ice sickle On the roof of a winter day I am wet Like the deep under The ocean floor Streams of red flow down My body Like the American flag Quiet surrounds me Like the sky On a winter night As tears flow The taste of Saltwater Taffy fills my mouth I am dead Hanging by a thread Like the world who put me here.
