everyday, ungraced by sleep
show up to work, my paint peeling
i chip away to fix my face
unblemishing my humanity
slit, grit, brittle pith
graze and groom will scathe and bruise
fence grew like bamboo
rigid rules instate curfew
carefully tip toeing
fragile sculptings, weakened floor beams
loose screws, obstructed views
maintenance past due, can't fix with glue
every night, brace myself
routine plight, begin to delve
deep into a destitute
place of purging, self unlearning
slit, grit, brittle pith
graze and groom will scathe and bruise
fence grew like bamboo
rigid rules instate curfew
promise callousness
won't stiffen you've all but ridden
ghoul's tools animate you
and chisel me undesirably
why do you attempt to barge my walls
you could come in if you ask permission
