Mind Frustration by Sam Roberts
Wavering catastrophe, my hand drums a small brain
Just a closet smoker, a hermit stinking out the foul student smell
With rich, fruitful smells only my type can enjoy.
Crowded in this 12 bedroom big brother amused house,
I fail to like the people around me and I am not usually this confrontational
My tear risen eyelash is part of my blood cowed body
And my body is now a despondency I have acquired - quickly
Thoughts I have - provide a claustrophobic environment, which admit is my own doing.
And my Lips have sealed themselves. Pupils have dilated.
I would give anything to be able to shout and scream at them
But my tongue tears itself, and my prospects look low
All I can here is a corkscrew, silently digging the wall
And I wait even more so for it to cave in on me.
