Spent six whole months sleeping on a pullout couch
Bag of chips, netflix, and an alcoholic grouch
Developed a serious back problem due to my slouch
Started carrying around pain pills in my hoodie pouch
Feared the world, still do, all the stories of real life monsters are true
They aren't grey and they aren't blue, not under your bed, but living inside you
Teeth chatter as the glass shatters and blood covers the tatters of inconspicuous clear matter
Begged my family to help in this trying time
But they only support the next sucker that supplies them a dime
It's no help to them that I know how to rhyme
They know me as the child they have that commits a crime
Fell off the swingset as a child and the pain was pretty mild
But the mental scarring was kinda wild, felt alone, and created my own style
Broke my glasses in half, seemed like it was on purpose
Since my vision was non existent nobody could hurt us
Us as in we and we as in me, I have many different voices, can't you see
My arms no longer bleed because they've been bled dry by greed
My veins replaced with plant seed and skin for the knife to feed
It doesn't matter just how fast but it seems that my life will last
And just when I pass, my home will be a trophy held on the mast
