There\u2019s something wrong
\nA disconnect between body and mind
\nSevered spine
\nToo much time
\nHas passed and irreversible changes
\nHave been dealt and for these there is no help
\nThere\u2019s a frayed wire
\nCatching fire
\nFiber optics curling and twisting under the pressure
\nToxic plastic fumes rising up to the brain
\nSmoke detectors blare
\nSystems send doubts everywhere
\nTrying to stop an inferno with teardrops
\nBecause the cranial road map
\nSpiralling, contorting, sparking neurons
\nDoesn\u2019t match the map of the flesh
\nScreaming out with a high, soft voice
\nThere never a choice
\nGrind down bones with files
\nCatch the dust and burn it
\nCut here, here, and here
\nScarring, swelling, putrid skin turning green
\nAnd rotting, pus oozing out of every pore
\nSplatters of blood coughed up on pillowcases from black lungs
\nTo stop the fire
\nFrom the wire where it sprung
\nI don\u2019t care
\nIf I starve
\nIf I bleed
\nIf a freak or a monster is all they ever see
\nJust get me out of here
\nPlease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
