Struggling to move, the senses collapse,
Bruised from the constant stumbling,
Unable to pick myself back up.
The walls close in, bouncing me off
Each other, a pinball butterfly
Stuck in a morass of parasitic dodder.
Trying to move, the mind distorts
What signals this mesh of wire
Apprehended, shaping me into three,
Split-ends breached, kidneys throbbing,
Entered backwards, thoughts twisted
Into velvet acid crystals, a synthesizer
Playing angelic ethereal notes, pretty toys
Bleeding like a virgin, spirit bent, bones torn,
Eyes recoiling in horror at the 2am graveyard,
Cybertron geneticists mixing chemicals,
Stomach dissected, teeth cracked, hair declawed
Oh what is happening what are they doing to me?
I can't scream, can't wake, only pray
In the darkness, for some opening in the dirt
To wrench my scissored hands free,
Vaguely remembering how insanely hard
It was to move as a baby, a little one,
Desperately grabbing at everything,
Yet unable to get my hands on anything.
