Modern Monster

SCREAM

Hear me,

Hear me for the first time,

How many of you know who I am?

The answer is none.

I look into your eyes,

I don't know you but,

I look deep into your eyes,

Searching for something I can't find.

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Time soldiers on,

With the wink of an eye,

And a mischievous smile,

What are you going to do?

The vicious tantalizing brew,

Hopelessness and ennui,

Time keeps passing,

But you don't really care do you?

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Live life with passion,

Grow seeds in your heart,

That turn into trees,

Be the hurricane in a field of drizzle.

Eliminate the status quo,

I'll live everyday like I'm born again,

Happily fearing death,

But having no regrets.

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tick...

Tock...

The Modern Monster,

Scared, neglected, detested,

Tormented reality,

Qu'est-ce que c'est?

I am the hound biting at heels,

Clean me, groom me, primp me, prune me,

Whatever you may say or do,

I'll always be your worst nightmare.
