swirling, flowing

whirling cartwheels in space

ink and a blank canvas and that’s all there is now

my brain dances with ribbons painting up and down and up and down

spinning dresses that twist and warp

winding, curling up up my ears

down down my neck

shadows in my veins

blood in my eyes

cries red

screams black

my mouth is loud and my lips are cracked and dry from the yelling

and i can’t feel anything anymore

i’m too numb

too too numb

swirling, flowing

whirling cartwheels

my legs give out and i hit the ground

in a panic i thrash

whipping my limbs around

until they tangle and snarl

up in each other

i feel red

i see black

i cry blue

i scream yellow

a sickly, deathly yellow

swirling, flowing

whirling cartwheels

flowers blooming

gorgeous purples

but those same flowers are poisonous

and they poison my mind

your mind

our minds are poisoned and sick and dying

and its blackening and darkening and the shadows creep through

and everythings gone in my mind

in my mind, everythings gone

i'm just numb
