My life is such a clutter
and I wish this wasn't always such a mess
and I envy the flutter,
Of the ugliest moth
it breaths with such a freedom,
that the iron just rots...
the skin rusty.
Like an old penny
that fetches that foul smell,
and makes your teeth crawl
like a bite into tinfoil.
The smell inyour hands
that'll never come clean,
of the sins you've committed
and you scrub at the folds
that crease in your palm.
But he already knows
what you've done wrong.

Hi Match, I don't understand the title, it doesn't seem to match the poem. However the writing is outstanding and I hope to see more.
