strangled to death by the threads of sanity

Your exit, her entry
All the kings, queens and gentry

X rated or G
Its really the angle at which you observe

Forgetting to remember
That it is perturbed

Living with disturbia long enough
And it will all become disturbingly normal

Throw the corpse in a burlap sack
And we will dress it formal

Whether it be lengthy or short
It all just depends

Misinterpret the interpreter
And it all starts to taste like lemons

Nothing really makes a difference
Like the dying painfully of the bends

Sprawl across the ground
roll in the dirt
Hold on to the grass
To keep from flying off
The face of the earth

    I like the idea of how things are viewed dependant on differing perspectives in this piece. The wording gives full realisation of this idea.

    makes perfect sense. jolene, u r seriously just a crazy good poet, and you don't need me to tell you that. it's also such an intrinsic look at how important perspective is.
    awesome. so go find a disco dancer, cuz ur poetry is already on FIRE!!!!
