Sympathetic Crumbs
I pulled an all nighter
In front of my vintage typewriter
Heavily clothed in stress
The demons of words my body they possess

My demands of desire unrealistic
The rising vile thoughts fearfully terroristic
So many reasons to move on I visualize
Bleeding either on paper or digital form, I poetize

I'm bathed by their rules and theories, it's mandatory
Or forever be banished to the dark abyss of my purgatory
Stuck on the story of my insanity, I'm my own narrator
I fall and rise on the bloodied life ground, a gladiator

All I ask from a few with mercy to show compassion
I can't go on like this with all the chaotic aggression
The wait for change to 'it gets better' is excruciating
My feelings have been subjected to the process of castration

I don't ask much from this judgemental society
Just crumbs from your table of 'normal', throw me a little sympathy.
