fmessiah

today i'm not a word, but a whole book
stopped spinning and tried to take a look
today i found the devil crouched in my room
looking like an angel and holding a broom
wanted to sweep my memory under the bed
and try to pretend it was all in my head
today i learned that life is just a game
of prisons and ladders and losing your name
today i am free to run around in my cage
to suffer the indignity of my lovesick rage
i'm not an escape, but an objective decision
wound like a clock and executed with precision
today i learned that i'm still alive
today i'll grin and bear it and not even try
today i am yesterday and yesterday's gone
today i am the poem you make into song
today...
