I

I am fake
I am nothing
I am a blink in father times eye.
you are everything.
I am
a caged animal let out too soon.
i am a raging ravenous beast.
I am the roar of the tiger.
The shrill of a hunted animal,
slowly dying,
yet screaming to live.
though i loathe my life.
Who am I you may ask?
What do i want?
will I ever know.
I am a frozen snowman
made out of artificail snow
holding a blowdryer to myself,
slowly melting.
I am the stupid trained dog,
who goes to fetch at men's bluffs
I chase my own tail,
I know i'll never catch it
and if I do,
it will hurt like hell.
But I like the pain,
I crave the chase.
So I keep spinning
until I die of dizziness.
