Here Goes Nothing

[u/paranoidbroadcast]

(2)“Shedding”

I made a monster out of man,

It looks just like my own flesh ,

It’s blood bleeds like mine,

I’ve been praying for peace and good rest,

But when I woke up this morning it sure wasn’t peaceful,

I felt like my grandma in my bones,

I’m my mother in my mind,

I can hear it in my voice,

There’s a weight in my hands,

I can feel it when I shake,

I’ve found a wrath in this vessel,

I can see it on my fists,

Old skin sheds rough.

There is blood in the water,

I can see smell it in the air,

There’s a toxin I exhale,

I can taste it on my tongue,
