a place to call my own.

Safety ReasonsJokes banned, thoughts criminalized
Politicians try to sell

In rose gardens of the mind
Coming out from the seeds
Sown by winds of time
Artificial brains...

Then suddenly turned cloudy and sad
Doesn't take much to turn it around
To change a good day to bad
Something that seems so insignificant

The last highBruising my vein
Can’t stay in my lane
Don’t even feel any pain
Acting like my arms are a pincushion
A dirty needle about to push in

Never coming down
Life in the background
