&ldquo;...And these children<br /> that you spit on<br /> as they try to change their worlds<br /> are immune to your consultations.<br /> They&#039;re quite aware<br /> of what they&#039;re going through...&rdquo; <br /> - David Bowie

Lights to blur for miles
Sounds of acidic ticking
My feet bloomed into ground
Consume me.

My mind spins in a floral frenzy
Screeching with release?
Spoiled rats that shine
Confuse me.

To no avail, I’ve tried
My pretty crumbling insides
I am but a dream
Leave me.

Days and days on end
No time left for pretend?
My thoughts hurt.
Just…
See me.
