twisted insanity
by Michele Schottelkorbtwisted playthings
wicked toys
not meant at all
for little girls or boys
carousel laughter
mirrored house insanity
utter terror
dismisses your vanity
step inside
experience the fear
psychotic episodes
are very near
distorted images
lace your mind
oh dear, you say
Im in a bind
this sickness takes on
a distorted from
not something youre used to
not of the norm
but blink three times
it disappears
until tomorrow
an ugly head it rears
