Let me go

Let me go
Beady eyed
Overjoyed
Underwhelmed
Belly burning
Into the world
Purple tongued
Bloody toed
Terrified undermined
Skinny legged
Pear shaped
Scarcely haired
Uncombed, uncombed
Snowy-White
Pink skinned
Doggy cheeked
Older than I am in years
Donkey ears donkey ears
Terrified
Red shoed into the world
Carrot cakes
Baby-bars
wake-up calls
 
                Hopeful, starry-eyed
                Hopeful, starry-eyed
 
Figure charts
Spider games
Kids alarmed
Box cars
Pig nosed
Water hosed
Rimmed glassed
Window panes
Growing pains growing pains
Idly wild weeds wildly sowing seeds
Wishing I was happier
And more beautiful
Bleeding black
Skull cracked
Pretty punks
Gritty fangs
Hold me back hold me back
Horse-heart
Fitzgerald
Lovingly schizophrenic
I’m trying to forget the scene
I had to be
 
Hopeful, starry-eyed
Hopeful, starry-eyed
 
 
Standing still in this world
Let me go
Fiery-eyed
I forget what I’ve seen
Shoelaces
Open and overwhelmed
Clean-shaved
I was, I was already
There
 
Hopeful, starry-eyed
Hopeful, starry-eyed
Hopeful, starry-eyed
Hopeful, starry-eyed
