Screams from Scratch

it's a rash

By BrenPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

i wanna close my eyes

close my eyes and dream

i wanna close my eyes

and build by hand a unique scream

i wanna arch my neck straight up

and expose the whole of my throat

a yell so loud from the depths of my lungs

so as to emit all that i wish to emote

i will physically take control of my diaphragm

i will now do exactly as i fucking want and please

inhalation and exhalation i am your fucking expiration

down in utter reverence on torn and bended knees

i am the control of the everything

i am the dream machine and the tool

i am the now and the eventual zen

i am a part of the sun and pretty much all of the fool

i will control the powers i will need to use

this my malignant egg to hatch

i will drug me then i’ll fuck you

i will build my screams from scratch
