BLACK

Drowning as it seems
i can't swim
help me scream
another day of black
trying to hack,
it's dark here
let some ray of beam;
Claustrophobic of mass transit
i'm the pointed dart
of sarcasm
laughing faces and
mocking mirages
another earthquake
twitching my rib cages.

in squares, circles
and rectangles,
knitting a scarf good
enough to strangle
the sky is falling and i'm skydiving,
with sputtering
thoughts of endings.
adrenaline and cortisol
let me say it all,
there's no fun hyperventilating
volcanic craters are a nightmare
and i find myself
crawling into them.

everything cloudy
i want some rain
don't want this rollercoaster ride
so mundane,
livin' on a cruise control;
working on autopilot
it's just another day of black '
another earthquake.
