Egg On My Face

Tell me you'll save me

From the pit in my stomach

Healing ingrained from

The fists of my luck

Cowering in plain sight

Dripping ice-cream like a child

Egg on my face

At the end of the day

With your foot on my tongue

Feeling estranged from

The crook I've become

Shower in the daytime

Eat a slice of pizza pie

Anticipating

In the year of my tasting

The books that I'd stopped

I could not retain them

I was hooked to my thoughts

Sour with the same smile

Grinning like a cartoon dog

My little angel

So I did the equations

To summon relief

Did I mistake how far thunder reached?

The sound of many bluebirds

Ringing nightly in the dark

I couldn't tame 'em

So my ego was asking

"Do I need to be kind?"

We could be happy

Never mind

We're flowers of the same kind

Lean into the stars

And undulate

Why aren't I funny?

It's strange to need anyone
