mummy boy in my head

melting into the disordered thoughts in my head
there sat a dusty, stained boy's decomposing body
there he sits, alone in the clutter piled miles high

is this how i die ? dead in my own damn bed ?
it doesn't help that i constantly stare , looking groggy
god how i wish i could buy more time just to cry

i miss being joyful, without a hint of red
in my eye from crying and whinnying not to be so squabbly
how i wish the clutter and fog would just die

along with that boy's mummy, i wish instead
for a clear, untainted head, full of —

nothing, for i would have nothing to fear.

nothing, for i would have nothing to fear
