Unremarkable, irrelevant, overly talked about but never quite acknowledged.
They let the spiteful paragraphs fly, my nightmares turn into a broken promise.
The tears freeze in the cold December air, they form perfect salty spheres.
Grainy pictures slide by as my consciousness morphs into a guilty plea no one hears.
Honour my wishes, I beg you, honour them,
Don’t listen to the fat they’re chewing.
The lighting is unavoidable, it holds the clouds up
With the strong winds brewing.
Unavoidable, facetious, overrated but never judged fairly enough to fail.
They write down my every mistake, then distribute the list by mail.
The fireworks start, make me lose my sight and my sense of direction.
My ears ring as the thought bubble above my brain dissolves into friction.
Honour my wishes, I beg you, honour them,
Don’t ever let my feet touch the ground.
The destruction is immanent, wait it out
Until a new storm is crowned.
