Putrid Breath And Swelling Eyes

Putrid Breath And Swelling Eyes

A Poem by JEngele

I feel the panic rising up my throat
A bottle full of fizz ready to explode

Don't know why I try so hard
This isn't where my life will end
But my dreams are fairly limited
Don't see why
I should strive
For something slightly more than "s**t"

You think you know me but this is a ruse
A clever way to deflect and confuse

You think you know me but the joke's on you
Not even I know what's behind this disguise

So tell me where my happiness lies
And I will follow you to the skies
Just be sure that I don't get bored
Because I'll find something new to explore

You think you're special but I'll drop you too
You'll be left feeling cold and blue
I'm not the kinda girl who follows through

I'm going to turn the world upside down
So grab your finest evening gown
I'm going to be your ruler supreme
So bow down and listen to me
So bow down and leave it to me

I feel my anxiety running high
Need to find it before I die
Twenty One's such a stupid age
Feel like a failure so I've built a cage

I see your passion and pull it close
I'm gunna need a heavy dose
Any glimpse of freedom fills my lungs
Feel like I could float into space

I'm going to turn the world upside down
So grab your finest dressing gown
I'm going to be your ruler supreme
So bow down and listen it to me
So bow down and leave it to me

I breathe out and everything wilts
Your ideas crumble away
A noxious fume that can't be escaped
So run away while there's time

There isn't any hope for me

You think you know me but the joke's on you
Not even I know what's behind this disguise

Putrid breath and swelling eyes
