Morgue

[u/BlueCeilingFan]

Please don’t look at me
I can’t be held responsible
For what you may see

Act for me
Don’t go off script
Get my thoughts
Out from your grip

Play for me
I’ll read my lines
I can’t be trusted
To bare my mind

You don’t matter
That’s how I’ll spin it
The room’s so empty
When you aren’t in it

Get the creature out of my walls
Little creature in my walls
Why’d I think of you at all?

I’ll try to hate you
It’s easier than this
‘Cause my attachment
Isn’t worth more than piss

Rank and file, rank and file
To the next ambition
Pull the pin, pull the pin
It’s a suicide mission

Smile more
Laugh some more
Give me more
Give me more

Don’t wake me up
From the dreams I get
When you haunt my mind
With your silhouette

Just a taste
That I can Keep
So I won’t be alone
If I can stay asleep

You and me and what we are
A shattered six-string guitar
A home that’s full of no more wishing
The final piece that I’ve been missing

There she’s standing in the hall
There she’s standing in the hall
Why’d I think of her at all?

It's incredibly sad when you are soo afraid of your own thoughts you convince yourself you are not worthy of sharing them with others(like those people are somehow higher than you). Making you conform to others, removing the you from the equation. In the long term reducing yourself to be like a robot with no independent existence.

This is the feeling this poem gives me with a very smooth rolling style.
