⚠ CONTENT WARNING: body horror and disturbing imagery

I am the skittish creature

with a dumpster in its brain

I make quirky chirps,

    buzzes and whistles

My entire body swells and shakes

from the garbage in my mind

    They like to mock me

    because I'm scared of things that aren't real

My thoughts and my dreams

are undigested,

    unholy and rotten

I am the lowly creature

with something wrong in its brain

I make choking gasps,

    coughs and whimpers

The infected wounds I've collected overflow

with chewed up bubblegum,

and my nose drips greasy paper bags

    I leak all the memories kept away from me

My thoughts and my dreams

are undigested,

    unholy and rotten

    wicked and disgusting

    to be forgotten

And in my brain, that's how they'll always remain,

    unless I am able to build up the courage

        to cut my head open
