Thoughts Like Cyanide
sometimes –
bits of me inside fall apart
my needs change
but that’s because –
i am all emotion
you can board a ship
and find me on an ocean
you can be found in my place
causing a revelatory commotion
democracy is power
change is a far-flung notion
sometimes –
bit of me inside fall apart
and i cannot control –
the feelings inside
they pour from me
like all our thoughts are cyanide
i am all emotion
you pull me back and forwards
apply the hopeful lotion
but sometimes –
bits of me inside fall apart
