Child's Play

​I’m a child
I don’t want you to know
I’m a child
Do you want to know what
it looks like when
someone is just short
of losing their mind
I’m a child
raw and unhinged
I’m a child
and I’m on the fringe
of manic delusions
I’m a child
I beat my nerves raw
with poisonous resolutions
I’m a child
reclusive and evasive
I’m a child
Don’t look at me
Don’t see just how fucked
I am in the head
I’m a child
It’s all about the many
derivatives
of me and my needs
I’m a child
Look away!
