i tried, but look where that got me

jumbled thoughts

drip drop

         drip drop

                   i want the

           voices in my head

                      to stop

slip-slide

slip-slide       

my demons         

lurk in the shadows   

of my mind         

zip zap

       zip zap

          i hope you

    know i am never

        coming back

criss-cross

criss-cross       

Death's rates          

rise Life's total  

cost

pish posh

       pish posh

            these stains

       will not come out

              in the wash

tank tink

tank tink      

nothing here        

to keep me afloat   

before i sink
