An apotropaic prosaic mosaic

Founding member of Melancholics Synonymous

Happiness taunts us

As our ego haunts us

A dauntless existence of seeing all and none at once

Considered a dunce

Just wishing to be understood, just once

But few do

Just the green faced man, the child rebel, and the little one

Drifting through the universe on the curse of being everywhere and nowhere

At all times

Slipping in and out of time

A mind is a terrible thing to waste

No

Sentience is pain

Give me something to ward off this evil

The lash of Lucifer
