insert the needle into the brain
and sew it shut.
it no longer wishes for pain
take the open vein
and sew it shut.
melting into the fog as it shrouds
dissapearing into every crowd, surrounded yet
standing alone
another statistic, another hunk of bone
should my eyes begin to wet
sew them shut.
there's no use for tears, no matter how much the pain rears it's ugly head
the rain sings a chorus,
of why I should be dead

I can see that

I’m not exactly sure how it is supposed to look but I read it differently. I understand the rhythm of it and it’s actually quite good while still being loose. The patterns I think I’m seeing are unique and that makes for an interesting rhythm.

Interesting...

and sew good! I get the thrust of it, the sewing shut of the parts that do not agree. I can think of a million reasons not to be dead. ~ Geezer.
