Its all around
The things that groan
Smothering saturation of rotten flatery
My egg gets so big here
I know its...  

Get out of this dead stare
Pull out
With a blister
Make it stop
Please,
Make it stop
Get out of my mind
Leave my head alone

Suck my teeth back into my mouth
And swallow hard
Perhaps the truth will set me free
From you, or I'll forget my name
And find freedom elsewhere

Dawdling freehost choking banter
Mantle flesh melt about
Stealling rubber from under there
Plastic truth and flimsy dog
LIE!!!  
Ribbon head set in steal
Listen to the sound of blood flowing steadly and slowly
Bloodshot!  Shut up!!!!

Romans 8:28 "And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purposes

~ I really enjoyed this verse. This poem made me think and try to reason with the poet's intentions.

It isn't necessarily babling.  I had a very specific thing in mind.  Like perhaps feeling like 'nothing,' or just really irratated.  But yeah, thank you.
