Who are you?
A question so easily spat
Words thrown haphazardly
The message reaching listening ears
Waiting on dumb lips
If knowing is a threat
This ship has yet to sink
The answer is a roaring silence
A silent argument
That erupted into a battle
A civil war for the ages
Pulling of petals
Going back and forth
Indecision being the only certainty
What are you?
Strip away all the notions
Sifting through the haze
Do you see a demon or the devil?
A true test of wit
How high are your marks?
What are you?
Lay everything bare
No more layers or masks
Am I a grimace or frown?
A passive rebel
So caught up in knots
You can see the locks
With each idea
The more tangled he grew
He was matted in dread
Who are you?
I thought I knew
I only want to hear silence
Instead my ears are left ringing
And My eyes won't stop
Now they're wringing
Do these drops taste of salt
Or nickel?
