Light Switch Mannerisms:


On and off! On and off!
I'm trapped in a light switch horror
Engulfed within a loss of heart.

Off and on! Off and on!
Contemplating over what to do
With the everything of nothing.

On and off! On and off!
I keep treading these cold tiles
While eyeing concret errosion and iron rust.

Off and on! Off and on!
These are the things people do
Just because they have to.





I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

Hey, I really like this one! It's like 2:46 am and i'm responding to it...haha! I like the way it starts with a lightbulb type idea, and then escalates towards a much more meaningful idea; like the Mannerisms of people!

(Great title by the way!)

I enjoyed this.
My favorite lines were -
'Contemplating over what to do
With the everything of nothing.'


And haven't we all been there ?
