Asylum Seeker
My radar senses your approach
I'm aware that you are staring
I wait anxious for your reproach
and your oh so subtle scaring
Slap me down with a sneering grin
Then inside I am tearing

Feel the blood gush through my veins
Rushing to the mains
Multifarious aches and pains
Thumping at my brain
Throbbing mass of tangled wires
Safety when my soul expires

You gawk at me with x-ray eyes
A million needles in my face
Ripping wings from butterflies
Pores dripping with my disgrace
Insects hover round the shit
Bringing tumor to this place

Feel the blood gush through my veins
Rushing to the mains
Multifarious aches and pains
Thumping at my brain
Throbbing mass of tangled wires
Safety when my soul expires

There's no way out
No way I can free my mind
I can scream and shout
But to this torment I'm resigned
