i've got a monster crawling through my head
trashing my flesh until the blood covers my eyes
and i can't see the world for what it is.
it hangs in my ear and screams at me
"you'll never beat this plague that i am"
i've given it a name to make it more human.
"you'll never beat this plague that i am"
i forget it in time and it's a monster again.
"you'll never beat this plague that i am"
Leaves are like people
From a distance they are
Deceivingly beautiful.
Upon closer inspection
It is discovered that no leaf
is perfect and no leaf
is completely what you wanted.
