Life on display

Show gore to the masses,

Display my rotting organs,

Stab into my no longer beating heart,

Tear my corpse limb from limb,

Watch my muscles fall apart,

So captivating!

So obscene!

Watch the world forget what it means

when you say you've fallen far,

Let them smile at your broadcasted misery,

Their eyes tracking every detail of your demise,

No one will help you,

Not when your on News Channel 5.

My body looks so pretty without my head,

Tear away what makes me myself,

Distress my image,

Display my life virtues on a shelf,

Praise me for who I never was,

Tear into my non-existent flaws,

Talk about my life like it's a movie,

Criticize my existence and don't let your morals stop your claws,

Blinded by whispered words of what I never said,

Did you forget the fact that I'm dead?

The gray fuzzy void makes me want to puke,

Every time I have to think about it I start shaking,

I don't want to be you.

You aren't bad I know that,

rather a product of the time.

But I can't always look away from the things you say knowing you

will never change your mind.

You will never know me,

I know you think you want to,

Believe me when I say ignorance is bliss,

I am protecting you.

It's a little selfish to hide parts of myself, when you find me so dear,

But we would get in fights,

And the end of our constant time together is near.

So talk shit about me when I'm 20,

when I no longer have to hear what you say.

Talk about how insane I went when I went off to college,

when I have somewhere else to stay.
