Make a new wish and
don’t say it out loud
The Devil will hear you
and summon new clouds
Your clouds are mean, though
They threaten to stay
Wrestling with words now,
you’re tempted to say
Watching the clock now
It’s watching you, too
You’re like a smoke bomb
thrown into a zoo
Lions roar loudly and
break down their cages
But you know their secrets
You’ve kept them for ages
You’re the real monster,
You’re raging like thunder
but nobody knows them,
those truths hiding under...
Under the bed, in the shadows
You wonder
How long can you hide them
And keep them asunder?
It really is fine, though
You’re steady and able
To walk down the street and
defy all the labels
Stand on the cliff and
stare down at the canyon
He’ll threaten to push you
and YOU will tell NO one.
